Puros Y Vino Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 This one took a long journey to get here. It started as a group buy in Sep 2013. I found these for a decent price in Chicago. A buddy of mine there purchased the case on my behalf. He then relayed it to a friend from Winnipeg who was coming into town for a big herf. It was then driven over the border back to Winnipeg where it rest up until the 1st week of Dec. From there, another friend from Winnipeg was coming into Toronto on business so he decided to mule the entire case on his flight. He tried to carry it on, the security agents told him no..so he stuffed it into his check in suitcase and carried his displaced clothes on the plane in an IKEA bag. Fortunately,each and every bottle arrived safely. And now they are safely in my hands for final distribution. A big thanks to all involved: Jeremy, Tim and Mike (for his muling heroics, I owe him big time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khomeinist Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yeah. This is one of the true bargains if you find it under 60. I miss the ole Ardbeg 17 but the ready availability of this spirit soaks up some of the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 That's a really good dram. Amazed at the price discrepancies but then taxes play hard in to the equation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicrusaders Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yes yes yes.... But what does it taste like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yes yes yes.... But what does it taste like? It tastes like honeyed heather with a peaty and smoky finish, along with a nice heat and some forefront fruit, malt and barley. Very balanced to my taste but I am an Islay man... It's not as overwhelming as a Laphroaig can be, definitely a good introduction to the expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sengjc Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 $53 is an amazing price. Nice pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winelover Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Nice. A great dram I have heard but yet to try. Costs about £53 here online in the UK so the USD prices especially in CA look v reasonable indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
