fokker4me Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 The First is my stuff that is open, and the second set are most of the storage stuff that I have yet to open. Mostly Bourbon and Rum with some other types mixed in. 4
canucks6024 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Amazing collection. Anyone has thoughts on Kirkland Whiskey? I see it in the photo.
Lotusguy Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Amazing collection. Anyone has thoughts on Kirkland Whiskey? I see it in the photo. They had several releases - some good, some not so much. Which one in particular do you want to know about? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
canucks6024 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I think want to know some impressions. I've heard rumors that they're related/bottled at the Maccallan plant. But i don't know how much I believe that.

fokker4me Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 The current stuff is for sure not Macallan
fokker4me Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Amazing collection. Anyone has thoughts on Kirkland Whiskey? I see it in the photo. Thank You. A friend of mine in the forum has a bottle opened that I sampled. The Kirkland was OK smooth and great for the money, and would make a great daily drinker. In my onion it was better then the Trader Joes scotch offering.
Lotusguy Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 The current stuff is for sure not Macallan Agreed. Not for a couple of years now. Before they actually advertised it.
TM-US Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 The Kirkland single malt they released this year is the Highland sherry cask stuff, 18 year age statement. Mediocre at best. Very light in body, has some sherry flavor, that's about it. The shortest finish I've ever tasted, lasts for maybe a second. Having tasted the Trader Joe's 23, the Kirkland 2014 release falls far short. I would not buy it again. Deserves to be mixed with Coke and finished off. If it was a higher proof, I might pour it into my tiki torches and light it on fire. 1

I didn't care much for any of the Trader Joe's releases either. 1
StingMeadery Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 It's that time of year...Whisky shelf dusting duties are duly completed and the wife is happy again It's growing... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Ken Gargett Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 great post. has reminded me how seriously i need to clean and cull and organise the spirits cupboards. will grab the camera - but do not hold your breath. new computer so it may take some time to work out how to post.
Habana Mike Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Don't doubt you may at some time be able to dust the bottles Ken. Whether you can get photos or use the computer, not quite so confident
Popular Post Ken Gargett Posted June 27, 2015 Popular Post Posted June 27, 2015 not sure i'd be too good with the dusting either, but here goes. not sure why i could not get them all upright but it gives an idea. they are sort of organised. 5

Habana Mike Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Nice pics Ken. I think one can tell preferences by amount of dust present and volume remaining..... Taking Zacapa XO took your fancy?

Taking Zacapa XO took your fancy? when i was travelling to NZ a fair bit, it was on sale at duty free so i stocked up. though the stocks are far lower than they once were.
CanuckSARTech Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 great post. has reminded me how seriously i need to clean and cull and organise the spirits cupboards.... And I wonder about the rest of the house??? Curious to know if your kitchen and garage still looks as it did (or worse) from when Rob gave us all a sneak peek a couple of years ago. LOL.

Curious to know if your kitchen and garage still looks as it did (or worse) from when Rob gave us all a sneak peek a couple of years ago. LOL. kitchen is always clean (well, like anywhere, i'm sure you could visit in the midst of a mess as i am not a cleaner when cooking - do it after). currently making ricotta and also red onion and ginger sweet-and-sour jam. so there will be mess tonight for a while. and if rob reads this, they both need time to "settle", so don't get any ideas if you come for a vid tomorrow. the garage is just overloaded. too much stuff, not enough space.
Ken Gargett Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 LOL. Any snake skins? always a few hanging from the roof of the garage (that is too high for my nephew to come along and drag them down through the slits). but it is winter so they are all off in their holes sound asleep.
