November 21, 201510 yr comment_711186 I was wondering that myself. The last cheap Canadian whisky he recommended was nothing special. This one though... that's an insanely high score. Same as he gave the Oogie if I'm not mistaken. If I can find it I'll file a report, sirs and ma'am. Report
November 21, 201510 yr comment_711189 My local liquor store has 9 cases. $30 a bottle. If the wife gets home in time I will go get one. Maybe I should send an Uber to pick it up for me. Report
November 21, 201510 yr comment_711251 Have a bottle on hold for me at a nearby store. Will provide a review in haiku form later tonight. Report

November 22, 201510 yr comment_711302 It's really good. It doesn't taste like a cheap Canadian whisky. I'd say it's in the same style as Bulleit rye, and probably a bit better. I'll buy it again if the price doesn't skyrocket. Report

January 20, 201610 yr Author comment_717791 The Yoichi 15 and Yamazaki 18 are great! Good choices. How did you like the Scapa 14? I have a bottle of Scapa 16 and don't find myself reaching for it much. Report
January 20, 201610 yr comment_717829 More AWESOME news in the world of bourbon... http://www.fredminnick.com/2016/01/20/2198/ If you like Elijah Craig 12 year, better get it now. Latest non age statement casualty, and I must say the absolutely worst one it could happen to. My transition to single malt continues... Report

Does the 16 have a similar flavor profile to the 14? I know the 14 was only around for a short time. I would guess it's sherried, but I can't find anyone online describing it that way. Report

January 22, 201610 yr comment_718000 Looking at the prices in Japan, I don't think we should be so quick to blame the hipsters. I think the Japanese are re-importing the stuff Grabbed some low brow stuff Report

January 22, 201610 yr comment_718002 Nothing low brow about that.tough to get that stuff in the states.. Enjoy! Well, compared to the 250,000¥ price tag on the high-end stuff The bartenders I spoke to said that Yamazaki 18 at $300 US is a good buy, in Japan. So, don't be so quick to blame the hipsters Report
January 22, 201610 yr comment_718003 We still will. They raised the price in Japan. Worldwide hipster conspiracy. Report
