    Finally. I've been waiting almost a year. It's been around here for a couple weeks, but just got a case at Costco today.

    A well traveled whiskey. Made in Canada, imported to the US then brought back home. ;)

    That sounds good. How was it? I've been trying to get the Abyss. That's suppose to be release here very soon, if not already. But I cant find it.

    I buy some of the jubelale every winter when it comes out its a pretty good beer as is all of the Deschutes products

    I had never heard of the Abyss one so i looked it up on their site,It looks to be a little to dark for my tastes. I'll see if it is in our stores yet out of curiosity

    The jubelale is as about as dark as i go on my beers and even that is a bit much as I am not a dark beer fan

    From Costco. Comes in under $20 for the handle and it's better than many costing double!!

    interesting! I did not know Costco ( Kirkland) branded their own liquor. I wonder who actually makes it? bottle looks familiar
    I gave my Costco membership up years ago when they upped the fee from $35 to $50 ( at the time) dont know what it is now

    The bottle makes me think Crown Royal. I've read their vodka is rebranded Grey Goose? All I know is both are very good....and priced right!

    I did a quick search on google and it seems that no-one knows where its from but narrowed it down to Canadian Club, Canadian Mist, Crown Royal. Are those the three C's of Canadian whiskey? Kinda like an answer to the three wise men? (Jim, Jack, Johnny)

    Interesting, I'm enjoying the company of a couple of Canadian reds this evening, my red headed wife and an Ontario Baco Noir.

    Leffe Blonde is one of my all time favorite Belgian beers. I've never heard if that one I'll have to check it out one day.

    If you want great vodka, for cheap, buy luksosowa. It's a potato vodka, so it's actually more expensive to make than grain vodka. This stuff tastes better than anything else out there, even if the other stuff cost 5x as much.

    You can get luksosowa for $12 a 750ml, or less per ml of you buy a 1.75 l bottle.
