I like Angels envy but the rye is so overpried and quite meh. but finding eagle rare in BC is so gd hard and I was excited for these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got my Eagle Rare a fair bit cheaper than the Angels Envy, and I preferred the Rare. I’ll be looking for it next time I’m in BCL.

You set yourself up and add things to your cellar. Any new inventory or price drops and you get the notification. I set mine for things like eagle rare, blantons, widow Jane, old 55 etc. hard to find bourbons. It works like a hot damn. I get the alert and then I check the stores it is available in. most of them for me are in westbank or kelowna, but at that point it's just a call to say hey set one aside for me i'm on my way! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Not rare but these are the result of my visiting a Costco liquor store, saved about $50 on what they'd have both cost me in BC plus the 15% One of the few benefits of living near the Alberta border I suppose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff, for the price. If you're able to go to Costco Liquor, grab a bottle of the Kirkland Islay single malt. It is hands-down the best Scotch you can get at its price point, and it's not particularly close (only $60!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Islay is rly good for the price. I’ve discussed it multiple times with my buddies, but I have it pegged as a Caol Ila. I just got the Kirkland Speyside 18 yr as well, and it’s damn good too for $90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was eying that ngl, they have a few things I was interested in I just wasn't sure what I'd actually be drinking given they likely source it from someone else and sell it under their own brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to decide if it's worth my while to swing by either/both during my Vancouver Island roadtrip. The shelter point stuff is nice, it's nice up towards the distillery too, can't speak to Macaloney's at all The artisanal single malt and the smoke point are lovely, they used to have a nice gin too Gotta circle back and try more of their stuff Edited September 3, 2023 by Coconuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Speyside is fantastic for those who like smooth, non-peaty scotches. I lean towards peat/smoke myself, but occasionally have a bottle of the Speyside for guests. My Dad (who hates peaty stuff) loves it... Think I'll buy him a bottle next time I'm there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I’m a big peat guy myself. Have a whole shelf dedicated to Islay lol. I’ve been branching out into more obscure stuff like Campbelltown, but I always come back to the peat. It’s funny how it can be such a divide with peaty scotches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been venturing into bourbon, but now that the nights are cooling off I’m cracking the peat back open. Currently enjoying a nice Kilchoman. Probably my favourite distillery.
