In 2023, U.S. alcohol exports to Canada amounted to US$262 million (C$377 million) a year. American booze could get costlier if Canada and the U.S. enter a tariff war.
Exactly, I can only save them so long before they need to be sampled. It was a bit of a let down when I found out it was a numbered bottle, but hey it was worth it.
My wife actually bought the last bottle of rum they had, which if I recall was 15yrs. It was fantastic as well, after it sitting on a shelf for 9 or 10 yrs.
My all-time favorite though was when I hand bottled my own 19yr from a single cask at the distillery, that was the best I’ve had from Glenora.
Ok… I wasn’t gonna brag but you are making me jealous.
I have bottle 339 of the first run. It is in a little wooden box signed by the distiller. Apparently the first batch was given out to certain people of Canadian note/locals. My “Uncle” (mom’s cousin’s husband) was given one from I think the Rankin Family who recieved a few, and Gretzky got #99. My dad’s and I were at the distillery when we saw their remaining bottles for sale, a random smattering of numbers. We asked the price.
“It’s different for each number”
… “What’s the cheapest one?”
Mom wasn’t very impressed…
I wanna open that one so bad.
My other half did the hand bottling as well. Many years ago. That one got drunk lol.
That’s what it’s for. I’m sure it was awesome.

Very nice, I yield to you good sir. Hopefully they continue to create great whiskey for many years to come.
Agreed. And no yielding! We must stand together, and spread the good word.
