Is there anyone here who's a brandy enthusiast?
I have unearthed a 1972 vintage Trillium brandy from the old Reider distillery in Grimsby. Is this a collectible?

It won't fetch too much cash, but it is certainly collectible. Is it unopened?

i'm going to take a wild guess that trillium was/is related to kitling ridge distillery. had some of their alambic xo brandy at my wedding, and it was quite nice. the 72 would be a nice collector's item, but it doesn't age once it's in the bottle (assuming the bottle was never opened at all).shrike wrote:Is there anyone here who's a brandy enthusiast?

Indeed.
Kittling Ridge does many things, but they only do one or two things well.
Their Sherry, Port, Vodka, Brandy, Icewine Infused Vodka, Icewine & Brandy, and most wines, are very poor. Funnily enough, Mr. Hall makes some of the best Canadian Whisky ever made. Forty Creek and Forty Creek Double Barrel are world class products.
