Nose: Plummy/raisiny, honey, spicy

Great drink. I think someone on Reddit mentioned that it reminds him of JW Blue, and both my brother and I agree that it does kind of. Really good bottle, I will probably pick up another to keep for a bit since it's a limited release.

Ok I don't want to hype it up too much or it'll be sold out as it's a limited edition and I also plan to pick up a few more bottles soon haha but I'm very much enjoying this. Loving the long finish and coats your palette wonderfully. I've had it neat and with 2 cubes, works very well either way.
Nice packaging too. Cool looking unfoldable white box with some history written inside.

Hey guys, I heard that the BC LiquorStore Van Winkle draw took place today.

Anyone here won a draw to buy one?

punkwax 02-24-2021 11:47 AM

Not me.. however, contest rules state “ If your name has been drawn, you will be notified via email after February 24, 2021” so I’m holding out hope the email could come in later.

A buddy of mine received an offer-email from the draw today, and he won a Van Winkle 10 year old.

Hence, I'm super jelly lol.

Obsideon 02-24-2021 03:34 PM

I forgot I entered the draw. Checked my email, nada :okay:

HonestTea 02-24-2021 04:36 PM

Would've been nice to get a Pappy

Obsideon 02-25-2021 12:08 PM

2 of my friends got an email winning the George T. Stagg.
I'm assuming they have multiple bottles or nobody is claiming it?

punkwax 02-25-2021 02:15 PM

They have multiple bottles of everything I’d imagine.. just limited amounts hence the lottery.

Gallardo 06-23-2021 09:47 PM

Heads-up, BCL is doing a summer release.

Pre-orders open on June 25th @8am PST.

HonestTea 06-25-2021 07:05 AM

Pappy was instantly gone.

Gallardo 06-25-2021 07:20 AM

Page froze and refused to load until like 8:03am...

Pappy was instantly gone.
Scrambled to click on Angel's Envy and STAGG JR.

Just for fun, I also entered the draw for the O.F.C and the Double Eagle VR

Heads up for everyone. This one isn't "Pappy". It's Van Winkle 12 year. Not the same thing as Pappy Van Winkle. It sells in the US for $80 MSRP. Because of the hype, people snatch it up like the Pappy and try and flip it for hundreds. The reviews I've seen give it around 3 stars.

I don't think I'd pay $200 plus tax CAD for it :fuckthatshit:

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

Apologies if this has been asked before, but has anybody found any stores local that carry Virginia Black?

I know BCL can bring in a case if needed, but would like to try one bottle first before committing.

Thanks in advance

Expresso 08-13-2021 11:56 AM

Don't waste your money.

Thanks, but I'm stubborn :considered:

Have you seen them locally before?

Expresso 08-13-2021 12:01 PM

No unfortunately. There's tons in Ontario. So if you have a buddy just ask him to grab it and pack very well and ship it to you.

Obsideon 08-13-2021 12:26 PM

I've had it before, overly syrupy sweet with not much character. Much much better options out there for that price range.

My go-to this summer has been the Glenlivet Caribbean Cask, refreshing, light and smooth.
