I did not realize Elysian was available at the L'bo. When did this happen?

If the wife hadn't stumbled on it and called me, I probably would not have known. She's a keeper...

It's only just starting to hit shelves now, so you haven't missed much.

What do you mean?

I loved their Savant, but it appears Immortal is all that's here. I got a six chilling, so I'll report back.

In the other thread, there have been reports of big floaties and lack of freshness, I believe. I haven't bought any myself, as of yet, so just hearsay.

Mine is clean, but I have to agree, not too exciting. Definitely not as good as Savant. Not bad, but probably not worth the trouble to ship all the way here.

Oh well, live and drink...

Yup she's a keeper for sure. Wish mine would make LCBO trips and call me. Hopefully she reads this. =D

I've had these in the states and thought they were much better. The ones I got from the LCBO were just plain stale.
