Black Velvet...Reserve

So we (Canadians) do. No harm.

Lot 40 was very nice. It's no longer carried locally, but I liked it when it was.

I also recommend Gibson's Finest 18, Centennial 10, Forty Creek's Barrel Selection and Three Grain, and Wiser's 18. And Century Reserve, 13, 15 and, especially, 21.

There have been others, but they're not top of mind; I'm not drinking much of it lately. There is so much more variety in single malts.

Oh, and I'm not sure if you were reading the group back in the days when Bushido held forth here, but he introduced me to the most astonishing Canadian whisky: Bush Pilot's Private Reserve. It was distilled at Kelowna, only a few hundred miles from here (Vancouver), and made exclusively for export to the U.S. It hasn't been made in more than a decade, but he had hoarded a few bottles and traded me two of them for some single malts that were available here but not in the U.S.

It was easily the best Canadian I've tasted. The Century Reserve 21 bore enough of a resemblance that I suspected they were bottling product from the Kelowna distillery.

Thanks for the tips. I will look for them at Whisky Live when I am there. I am also interested in Glen Breton from Nova Scotia. Havnt tried it yet.

Yes I am Jock Shaw. Jacues Loofjes is a Dutch translation of my name. I have been posting here for over 10 years now. Also when Bushido and Johanna and people like that were here. Those were good times for this newsgroup, but many people have now gone to forums which are moderated. I dont really have the time literally no time for that. I am a bit busy to be on the computer all day. My tasting business which is just a side thing is doing so well, that I have lowered the number of hours in my regular job in psychiatry. Tonight I am doing a Bruichladdich tasting for a liquor store in a small town in the middle of Holland. Only whiskies from Bruichladdich at a tasting people pay to get. The line up for tonight is

  1. Bruichladdich Rocks
  2. Bruichladdich Yellow Submarine WMD
  3. Bruichladdich 15 2nd edition
4 Bruichladdich Waves
  1. Bruichladdich Peat
  2. Bruichladdich 3D3 Norrie Cambpell tribute.

The last two have peat smoke, but dont have the medicinal phenols in other Isla's even though the last one has 45PPM peat in it.

Peace,

Jock

I don't suppose you could mail six sample bottles to the US? 8;)

If you wanted more computer time, working in psychiatry, I would think you could easily triple your income by working exclusively in any high-traffic USEnet group. The Formula 1 and tennis groups come to mind...
