Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> I don't think I've ever had a Canadian   
      
   Apparently there are some good single malts but I've never had one so I can't   
   confirm it.  Canadian beer is good, better than American beer that is for   
   sure.  Mind you that isn't saying much especially given the topic at hand.    
   Maybe one of these years I'll try a Canadian single malt whisky just to say I   
   did.  Speaking of which, one of the island breweries is threatening to start   
   producing a whisky in the near future but it'll be at least 10 years from now   
   before they can bottle anything that could possibly compete with the   
   Glenlivet/Macallan standard as you call it.  In the meantime it would have to   
   be something from the east, say one of the ones produced by the Glenora   
   distillery in Nova Scotia.  Either "Glen Breton Rare 21 Year Old Glen Breton   
   Rare 21 Year Old" or "Glen Breton 15 Year Old - Battle of the Glen" looks   
   tempting but I've never seen or even heard about them in this neck of the   
   woods.   
      
    NB> So, our discussion shouldn't be tipping them off to your stores... ;)   
      
   I think what tips them off is when they see me going to the store.  However   
   the 15yo Glenlivet I bought in Nanaimo so only the person I was with is aware   
   of it and he knows what it is allocated for.  He did have a taste of the   
   Macallan Gold but dropped in after the cybertoast had occurred.   
      
    NB> as his was often the nicer, we'd usually be drinking his   
      
   That would work for me.  ;-)   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
