Some other favorates of mine to pickup in Canada: Wiser's Oldest (18YO)and Crown Royal Limited Edition (which I think is heartier, and perhaps with more rye...
I'm actually quite fond of the Breton Hand & Seal, because, to my taste, it is a departure from traditional CW. In particular, I find a strong pound cake ...
I picked up a bottle of CC20 in the Montreal Airport duty free. It was the metal tin rather than chrystal decanter. Interestingly, it is labeled "Imported". I...
I think the CC Classic is one of the best traditional styled CW's available recently. I believe it replaced the Grand Award 12 YO which was also a decent ...

Hi Davin,<br><br>I suspect that all of the Corby's products come from the Walkerville distillery near Windsor. It's sad to see a great old name snuffed out...

I've never seen BH&S in Vegas. As you noted, it was only available if a few limited US markets. I'm pretty sure I ordered mine from Sam's in Chicago....
I was thinking again about the Wiser's Oldest (18YO). It occurs to me that I was very fond of it years ago when 1) I drank almost exclusively Canadian and, 2)...
Thanks guys...apparently the whole site is down and there is some sort of serious server mess up. I need to get the host changed. Ill let you know if I havent...
Hi John,<br><br>Oops, I had assumed you *were* talking about the WVO18. See also msgs. #128 and #133. I also share Mats' question as to whether these are the ...
