@BlissInABarrel, it was great meeting and tasting with you in LA last week. That's a great city for whisky-lovers you've got there. I have no doubts that I will like the Nikka products when I get a chance to sample some. I must say, though, that Anchor Distilling being in on the distribution of the Nikka whiskies makes me wonder--trying to find Anchor products is quite a bit like a snipe hunt! And, unless the new Anchor Disilling management is a lot different from the old one, they don't provide much useful information on where to buy their products or what will be coming out in the future. Anchor, if you are reading this, I LOVE your whiskeys! I just hope you'll let us know how to find some of them.

Hey, Victor! I don't know if you've heard, but it looks like NIkka is planning to launch in the US market next year. They may be working with Anchor Distilling SF! Cross fingers. I'm not sure if you like their products! :D

Nice addition with the Macallan CS...it's the one Macallan that I am most interested in as it has the best potential from a quality/price correlation in Ontario.

Sorry Victor... I see your comment now.. I agree with you, I think that the HP15 sherry flavour is much more marked and defined than HP18 and HP25. In my opinion different sensation of sherry from HP 15 to HP 25 is derived primarily from the presence of different flavors that surround it.
