acidbasement Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 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.

naamanf Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better hope that Marc didn't find out and buy them all up - he loves Crown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbasement Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, compared to the 250,000Â¥ 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naamanf Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 We still will. They raised the price in Japan. Worldwide hipster conspiracy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
