fokker4me Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks6024 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Amazing collection. Anyone has thoughts on Kirkland Whiskey? I see it in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted September 2, 2014 Share 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?

canucks6024 Posted September 2, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fokker4me Posted September 2, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM-US Posted September 13, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't care much for any of the Trader Joe's releases either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted June 27, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ken Gargett Posted June 27, 2015 Popular Post Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted June 28, 2015 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Share 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.
