Slightly smoky with what I felt was a hint of rye, which seemed odd but quite pleasant. A great spicy dram and at $110 well worth it, I think!

Picked up Bernheim Wheat for $29.99 since that's $10 less than I've seen it anywhere else. Might be a while until I try it, too many open bottles at home right now. Only 2 more bottles left on the shelf. driving South on Route 31 in New Jersey today, decided to stop at Super Saver Wine & Spirits in Pennington.

A steal at that price. Also have seen it for around $40 in the Rochester area. Generally not a big Canadian whiskey guy, but Crown Royal Cask 16 is only $29.99 at Empire Wine in Albany, NY.

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:22:39 +0000 http://blog.maltadvocate.com/?p=3234#comment-15816 No doubt. The $10 hike seemed pretty obviously timed with the holidays. Gawd, would I like to find an affordable Springbank 21. I'm late to single malts and can only wonder at the deals that have come and gone at Warehouse. They had Longmorn 15 for $39.99 for almost a year after people started lamenting it's departure. When I bought their last Dalwhinnie DE (which I love), having just discovered it, I was told that when they first got their stock in they were asking something like $30 for it. [shakes head] No doubt. The $10 hike seemed pretty obviously timed with the holidays.

The price will rise as the supply decreases. I have noticed this on a number of finite releases over the years, such as this older vintage Talisker, a Bowmore 21 that was long past general release, and the Springbank 21 some years ago, so I doubt it has anything to do with price increases from the producer or wholesaler level. @ 32
