I just had an amazing Single Malt....

This week was my birthday. I told my wife the last time we were in the LCBO store that if she ever wanted to get me something, to buy me a bottle of Glen Breton Rare Canadian Single Malt Whisky. I have been admiring this stuff for a couple of years but always had second thoughts when looking at the price tag of $85 CDN for 750ml. I read a review of it last time I was on a plane - in the inflight magazine - and I decided I needed to have a bottle.

So, I got home from work on Wednesday and a wrapped box was sitting on the kitchen table. It was a bottle of Glen Breton.

Today, I had Carlos Torano and cracked open this amber nectar. I normally drink Islay malts but this stuff is great. A fruity nose to it and so smooth. It's only 10 years old but goes down like it is twice that.

Check out their web site at http://www.glenoradistillery.com/ . They have had a legal battle over the use of the name Glen but won.

thanks for the review. I'll have to look out for it here in the states.

Oh man, I'm more than just a little jealous of that. Canadian Whisky is my absolute favorite spirit and I've been trying to get my hands on a bottle of that Glen Breton for a while now. Not as easy as you might think in East Texas.

If you like Islay malts, I would reccomend Bowmore if you haven't tried it already. My uncle introduced me to it, and it's become my favoriet!

Nothing better than a nice cigar when you're drinkin' the good stuff. Happy birthday.

I have a bottle of Bowmore in my collection. It is very good. As far as Islay's are concerned, I also have bottles of Laphroaig, Caol Ila, and Arbeg on hand. When golfing with the guys, we picked up a bottle of Bruichladdich and it was quite good too. My current stock also has Glenlivet, Cragganmore and Glenfiddich.
