You can still pick them up for $50 MSRP if you come across them in grocery stores in non tourist areas of Japan  | |

If you ever make it to the US, it retails for about $130USD. Pricing in Japan in late 2018 varied alot from $130-250.
PS. Spirits release catalogue is up now.

How'd everyone do in the Spirits Release? I know rslater killed it lol!
DA9ve: Not sure if you were able to score an OWA. I find it has big artificial cherry hit along with some good sweetness, but I feel like it drinks hotter than 107 proof. It's a punch in the face compared to W12 where its just so smooth and sublime. Two different beasts definitely will depend on your mood.

Just got a 1792 Fp and Ardbeg 19. I need to try OWA sometime. I'm sure I'll be able to snag a bottle sometime in the future.
Every year bcl fucks up the system. Tbh I rather they just do a lottery system.

As someone who does not care for liquor, my realtor got me a bottle of blue label, at the time i had no idea what it was.
So as per usual i started to drink it mixed with OJ, my buddy came over a few weeks later with the bottle 3/4 full still.
Looks at the bottle, looks at me, and asks since when i started to buy expensive booze, i chuckled and told him its from my realtor
Then he told me its like 350$, at this point, all you heard from me was saaayyy whhaaaaat
So we both took a shot, buddy said it was 11/10, and to me, just as gross as any other 30$ hard liquor.
Buddies birthday was around the corner, gifted it to him in the suede box it came with, that i used as tile cutting stand for some renos bahahha.

Shooting blue label is blasphemous as well. Such a nice buttery sipper

Personally if I had to choose a JW I actually prefer the Green Label more than the Blue. Of course if I had to choose 1 for free I'll take the Blue lol.
But overall I'm not a Johnnie fan in general, my all-time favourite brand is still Balvenie followed by Glenfarclas. Every age from 12 to 30 has been delicious and unique in their own right.

i dont wanna sound too picky, after all it's a gesture that they are offering not payment.
one time i was doing a favour very reluctantly for a customer that i don't particularly like, and he asked if i drank whiskey. i said yes, bring me something good. he brought me a 40 of crown... i gave it to my buddy lol.

BTW the Michter's Toasted Rye is legit, probably one of the best bourbon/ryes I've tried this year.

ahh good ole Cambie. I felt like nobody really wanted the Michter's anywhere else. I walked into Park Royal around 8:30 and they still had about 3-4 left.
