@BlueNote My ex-wife whisky mules for me all the time (and yes I call her my whisky mule)! What can I say, I'm a lucky guy...

@Nozinan The Uigeadail looked to be about $103 cad. About the same out the door in Alberta.

@Astroke My brother in law just picked up a Uigeadail in Calgary for $83 plus tax.

@BlueNote I was looking for specific stuff that I couldn't otherwise get. GF 105 I can probably find in Calgary, Talisker 10 is available. A'Bunadh I sometimes have more than the entire LCBO inventory. I'm at a point in my life where I need to be very selective about what I add to my collection. I can't take it with me when I die.

@Nozinan The LCBO's entire oogi stock would be depleted in 2-3 days at $90 out the door.

@Nozinan I hear you. No point buying just for the sake of buying. Some habits are hard to break though (speaking for myself).

@Astroke My friend just found Oogie for $83 in Calgary. Of course he brought us back one each.

@BlueNote I agree with you too. Old habits, FOMO, call it what you will.

@BlueNote I have a friend who (when he used to go to Europe) often brought back special orders for me. But I wasn't married to him, and his wife would probably object if I tried.

I think a lot of us have couriers who are happy to assist in the whisk(e)y cause LOL

@talexander After a couple of years of consciously trying to avoid each other, my ex and I are pretty good friends again. She is a musician and travels out of the country quite often. Maybe the time is right to ask her to do some muling for me. Still gotta tread lightly though.

Well, Looks like LOVE AND COURAGE won the day. In honour of Jagmeet Singh winning on the first ballot I'll be opening Forty Creek Heart of Gold tonight and celebrating with a dram.

I'll probably try it in many different glasses because Jagmeet's win indicates that we are a party open to many different people!

Looks like I can return the Wiser's Legacy I just ordered.... That was @Paddockjudge's choice for the Northern Ontario candidate...

@Nozinan, Charlie might drop in here for a smash of Legacy upon his return to Cobalt. You should send that bottle to me, just in case. innocent

@Nozinan It will be interesting to see how much substance lies beneath the style. His religion is a big part of his persona and that may not fly in Quebec.

@BlueNote Religion is in Quebec as NAS is among Connosr members: something we have difficulty with but with the right stuff, we overlook it.

@Robert99 Yeah, Quebecers are determined to keep church and state separate.

I assume that the 47000 new memberships that Mr. Singh brought to the party are overwhelmingly from his own religious and ethnic community.

@BlueNote @Robert99 I disagree. I think he has tapped into many younger generation. he actually doesn't make his religion an issue. It's other people who do.

If Kathleen Wynne could run a campaign without anyone bringing up her sexual orientation, let's see if Canadians are mature enough to look at issues and not make assumptions. Oh wait, they voted for Trudeau...

Back to my whisky...

We better all get back to whisky. Let's not hijack this site with Canadian politics. Let's face it, most of the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about Canadian politics.

@Nozinan So you are saying that Canadians are like their whiskies: rarely mature.

@BlueNote Most of the world doesn't give a sh** about Canadian Whisky. Which is very fortunate for those who do (lower price).

Canadians don't appreciate good Canadian whisky. How else can you explain Wiser's Legacy being discontinued for lack of sales? That's inventor Dr. Don Livermore's favourite Canadian whisky and mine, but the Canadians don't buy enough of it to keep it around.

To celebrate a small something in my life, I'm considering the Springbank 12 Burgundy. I can find some rando reviews across the whisky web, but none here. Anyone had it?

@Victor, Not all "Canadians don't appreciate Canadian whisky". The discontinuation of Wiser's Legacy is my fault, and my fault alone. I stopped buying it for a few months and it was dropped from the line-up. One of my twenty top-ten Canadian whiskies.

@paddockjudge Wow! Is that all the Legacy you own? That reminds me of my A'Bunadh collection. That is a HUGE concentration of one expression.

I will have 2. That will last me a LONG time. Possibly longer than your 17... smile

But....WOW

@paddockjudge just WOW. Your collection of Wisers Legacy is greater than my entire whisky collection! Maybe once I've got a bit more experience with Scottish single malts I'll broaden my horizons with other styles of whiskies.
