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?

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.

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

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

Heads-up, BCL is doing a summer release.

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

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

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

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.

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.
