  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

  • I am thankful for all of my BOTL friends! Everyone please be safe and enjoy your time with family, friends who however you are choosing to spend the day!

Got a bottle of Eagle Rare after I had a Bourbon craving this afternoon. Also picked up a little gift sampler of 50ml bottles of Bookers, Bakers, Basil, and Knob.

I have a couple bottles of the '11 Vertical Epic. I'm worried because I wasn't a fan of it when I tried it on draft.

got some good birthday gifts today; received some cash and LCBO gift cards so I went to Queens Quay to check out their new tasting tower.

Someone returned 2 bottles of Lagavulin 12 year old natural cask strength special release scotch that was bottled in 2003. *Bought them both and a bottle of highland park 18; *a good day
Very nice! I VERY MUCH prefer the Laga 12 to the Laga 16... that bottle is quite a score, in my ever so humble opinion. Nice you were able to grab two... :thumbsup:

And HP 18 is a classic. I received a bottle as a graduation present, so it always has a spot on my shelf. I have one with the old packaging... will be a long time before I crack that one open.

I only was able to get one bottle right now. I'll let it sit a full year or more. If I find another, I might crack it just to try it fresh.

Nope. Probably gonna try it and snag a couple more if I like it. My shop had like 30+ bottles.
Ah. Damn. I should find me a bottle to drink and let this one age. I don't age a lot, but I have a few bottles sitting for a while.
