Not likely. Unless it is something they sell already, they probably would not risk it. Government makes them account for everything they produce, even tastings from distillery tours.

Edit: 28 days on chips was almost too much.

Wish I knew, can bring 151 proof from Dominican. Only $11 per 40 oz, plus airfare...

Be careful for what you wish for my friend

Time for some Elijah Craig . . .

Saw a bottle of the barrel proof Elijah Craig, along with many bottles of Bib and Tucker at one of my LCBO's. They were in a glass case with no prices. To me, that means walk away.....

The barrel proof goes for ~$145 at the LCBO. But keep an eye out, for some reason they have been marking some pretty good stuff down by $20-30.00 a bottle. I'd pay the list price as a one off, but the everyday juice is plenty nice. going to be reviewing the Eagle Rare 10 this weekend.

The LCBO can catch you off guard I've found recently. Don't always go by what the website tells you either. The closest LCBO to me in Kitchener has 6 bottles of Bib and Tucker Bourbon, but on the website it's not even listed. Certain stores I've also found to put brands on clearance, and other stores still have them set at the regular price.

BTW Orville, big shipment of Blanton's special reserve has hit LCBO. Just a heads up.

Smooth but with a kick.

I'll try it, but I just cracked my bottle of Eagle Rare 10, and I think I am in love with it.
