ChainWhip Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Man, I'm really going to have to open my bottle now. That and the pikes creek I grabbed in Edmonton, can't wait to give them a whirl!It's hit the shelves in WA state - but it's $75.12 out the door.

RVTsteve Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Been seeing it a lot around but just looked past it. I'll have to take a closer look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainWhip Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's cheaper for me to drive up to Vancouver and pick up a bottle than buying locally... what I don't get from a pricing perspective is that Pike Creek is right next to the Lot No. 40 and it's $37.76 out the door. It's the same class/series of Canadian rye and yet one is 2x's as expensive as the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same class/series of Canadian rye and yet one is 2x's as expensive as the other.Having bought both the Pike Creek and Lot 40 for the same price ($40) I can say the Lot 40 is worth twice as much as the PC.I would not put them in "the same class" taste-wise!

ChainWhip Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I do plan on stocking up on Lot No. 40 next time I'm in Canada though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biskuit Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This just hit Georgia. Wow, I am super impressed. Grabbed two bottles at $55, may go back for more. Tasting notes to come as I get into this bottle a bit more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I grabbed one on Saturday. I'm excited to open it up as soon as this head cold blows over so that I can actually taste it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've heard enough people extolling the virtues of the 2012 release that I suppose I'll have to pick it up. My local honey hole has a ton of it, plus a bunch of baby Saz for $27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megawatt Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Excellent review, Biskuit. I got another bottle of this recently and confirmed that it is indeed as good as I first thought. From the nose to the finish its outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I also picked up the Lot 40 2012 today (along with a Dickel Barrel Select and a few others). Will sit down and compare it to the original when I have an opportunity. Definitely cost more than the original so it loses that comparison!

Megawatt Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I must admit it is nice to pay less for a quality product than you people in the USA, considering we get stiffed on everything else here in Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamba Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I also picked up a bottle after reading this thread. I'll have to finish some opens before popping the cork though. Had to pay $58 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBM Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I really want to try this, but the best price in WA state is $75.17 to walk out the door with a bottle. First world problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBM Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Only $39.99 up in BC. Get driving!! I seriously considered that, but it's 210 miles round trip which is $40 in gas so it would cost more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnDew Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hmmm, I'm headed that way in a few weeks. Looks like I'll be bringing home some bottles for myself and others. DBM, CW, how many bottles do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyOldKyDram Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yeah, for that price I would be a regular drinker of it. For what they're asking here it's going to be an extremely rare purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
