Not just that, but goodness check out all of the VWFRR.![]()
I was moving things around yesterday, so I got everybody together for a family portrait.

I complain a lot about bourbon selection in Ontario. But looking at this, I've done not too badly for a guy who only gets to the US once or twice per year.

It has got somewhat better recently. But I have to say - of the 40 or so bottles in the "collection" picture, at least half of them were bought traveling - the bourbons & ryes from the US, and the malts from Scotland. I generally use up every ml. of my duty free allowance.
Thanks. It's not bad. Intense, but balanced, well sherried, nicely peated, with a sweet, floral backbone. I never would have considered buying it - it was re-gifted to me by someone who didn't like it. But it's good enough that it will make me consider buying another Japanese whisky down the road.
Not so much a stash, and several Scotch and Irish in here too but here goes...
Recently moved so finished off a lot of bottles that only had a few pours left in them, here is what made it to the new house, since the photo was taken I’ve bought a glenfiddich rich oak 14 and I’m looking forward to growing the collection more over the next few months as recently I’ve been drinking more than I’ve been buying.

The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whiskey. By diligent effort, I learned to like it.
