Still looking for a couple of bourbons though. chrisbator - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399258 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 18:37 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399258 Last Friday I was at a whisky expo in my hometown. It wasn't quite as bigsas some of the major ones in Sweden but its always good to support local initiatives and it wasn't super-small either. I had the chance to talk to some nice folks in the bussiness (and some salesmen aswell) and got to try some … Alexsweden - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399257 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 17:19 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399257 @Astroke Man, I feel for ya. I've done the same "due diligence" you have, contacting TW or other retailers looking for bottles unavailable in Canada in order to instruct my wife when she's travelling--but to date, she has been very reliable, and has only purchased bottles on my list. She did pick up… Spitfire - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399256 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 16:54 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399256 HAH!

Glad to see a mention of the fledgling Aussie whisky in there! sengjc - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399252 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 11:21 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399252 @Alexsweden Not quite something to watch but I recall a good book called 'Wine and War' by Donald and Petie Kladstrup that I really enjoyed. sengjc - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399251 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 11:16 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399251 I like the Port Charlotte PC11 a little more over the Octomore 6.1. sengjc - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399250 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 11:14 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399250 A dollop of Ardbeg Corryvreckan with an easy-going Cuban tonight. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161122/1e6c9a4aecdbf03d327f31b2c740ec24.jpg sengjc - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399249 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 10:27 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399249 The data migration to our new platform is progressing well. Today we have disabled 2 more features on this version of the site: Adding new buddies Thumbs-up / thumbs-down on comments These features are being locked-down so we can migrate the data ahead of the launch. Thanks again for your patience… Jean-Luc - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399247 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 02:30 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399247 @Astroke, you can probably trade that bottle of Angel's Envy. A lot of people really like it a lot, though I am not one of them. Victor - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399246 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 02:29 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399246 @mscottydunc Thanks for the thought. I will bite the border duty bullet the second I know one of these Whiskey's are in upstate New York. I mean why not since apparently I will pay $113 for Angel's Envy.

I will in the future say thanks but no thanks. This one was the worst as I had all but arranged the WFE pick up with TW. Had she arrived with Barrell Boubon I would have still been happy. Angel's Envy Bourbon, really? I would gift it for Christmas but… Astroke - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399242 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 02:08 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399242 @Astroke I actually picked up two of the three form your list while I was in the States. Willett 3 Year Rye and ECBP Batch 11. If we are ever in the same neck of the woods and I have opened them, you are welcome to taste some. mscottydunc - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399241 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 01:28 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399241 I'm really looking forward to the launch - I have private message withdrawal, and I have to admit i'm curious to explore...

Victor - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399239 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 01:14 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399239 @Nozinan Well I think I have learned my lesson. My faith in people to do what they say they will do has no bounds I guess. I have now put out $280.00 for 3 bottles I did not want nor were on my lists. I thought I would check with TW on Sumerlin in Vegas and they still have Willett Family Estate Rye (#1… Astroke - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399237 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 00:11 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399237 @Astroke I feel your pain. I asked a friend to bring me a Caol Ila CS (G&M) from Halifax and he brought me back a Glenmorangie Signet. At least though, I only (pre)paid for the Caol Ila, not the Signet, but he knew nothing of Scotch and the store gave him the wrong bottle...

This person was going to Vegas. I did my due diligence and actually called Total Wine on Sumerlin and gave them a list. They (TWS) said most of… Astroke - www.connosr.com http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399234 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 22:55 +0000 http://legacy.connosr.com/wall/#399234 @Nozinan , it was the 12 from 2014, from a large sample bottle I poured off when the big bottle was around half-full.
