Wow, could've been quite the investment 13 years ago. But then again, you might have drank it all by now! My philosophy is; if you think it's worth it, then it's money well spent.
Toronto Star: Man steals a $26,000 bottle of scotch from downtown Toronto LCBO store
- Thread starter alexmst
- Start date
I shared the last of it with a very good friend of mine in a toast to my recently deceased father about 10 years ago. All three enjoyed it to the end.
Good way to remember your dad. Although multiple bottles/cases of the scotch is what I meant. Anyways, you enjoyed it, so that's what matters.
Evidently, there are 500 bottles of this Glenfiddich special edition. They are releasing 50 bottles a year. There happens to be 15 bottles that are ( were ) in Ontario at the LCBO.
About my Franken whiskey, I can not stand the peaty Johnny Walker Blue. ( I got it as a gift ) What am I to do with this bottle except chop it up and make a Franken whiskey out of it? I am sure if I put out a call for volunteers to taste my Franken whiskey there will be no shortage of volunteers.
Here is a point to ponder, would you rather have a 1 oz. shot of that stratospherically super premium scotch, a once in a lifetime experience, or would you rather savor 10 bottles if 18 year old scotch? I would take the 10 bottles.
BTW- This is what the missing bottle looks like.

It's kept in casks, not bottles. Once it's bottled, very little aging takes place. Yes, a seal problem or excessive light may degrade it.
I saw this on cl and it gave me a chuckle
You stole a damn fine bottle of scotch, and I would love a sip - w4m - 26 ( 2 Cooper St. and Queens Quay, LCBO)
The Toronto Star describes you as "dapper", a "gentleman", a wearer of a jaunty brown hats and Burberry plaid.
The bottle of whiskey you (sexily) liberated was described as "pale gold" in colour, aged 50 years, with "a beautifully harmonious, uplifting, vibrant and complex aroma," and a long finish "with a touch of dry oak and the merest trace of peat."
Obviously I would like to meet you both.
You stole my heart when you stole that bottle, and while there are, internationally, 50 other bottles of single malt Glenfiddich, (tasting of "zesty orange marmalade, with an aroma of delicate rose petals,") there is only one of you.
Me: A beautiful, young, second-generation Scottish woman (in a rough patch in her life), who could really do with a delicious once-in-a-lifetime drink. I earn about as much as the bottle is worth and have a fondness for older men and older spirits. Already we have so much in common.
We'll meet somewhere classy. I'll bring the tumblers.

Man... I wasn't even able to carry a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue around. I had to speak with the LCBO manager, continued to shop and he watched for my arrival at the cash, brought the bottle over and spoke with me during the sale - even asking if I wanted to see the bottle... Very pleasant experience for only a $300 bottle.
At $26K, I would expect a lot more personal attention.

i stand corrected on the Glenfiddich. There will always be a line up for free booze. quality will have anything to do with it.
It's funny. I once purchased a $220.00 bottle cognac at the LCBO, and while the pretty box was on the shelf, they had to actually send a guy to the back room to get the bottle. Also, it's my understanding that the employees, much like the TTC, are told not to confront someone who is stealing merchandise, but it's hard to understand how this scotch was out in full view...
Ummmm... Return it and buy several bottles of your favourite hooch? That's what I'd do!
btw, I heard he jimmied the lock to get the bottle.
Same thing happened to me . Empty box on shelf . They had to go in the back to retreive the bottle and brought it the cashier . Bottle was mine after I PAID for it .
