   Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> And when/if you do, you'll have to report on it here...  ;)   
      
   For sure.  Don't hold your breath since it is harder to obtain then single   
   malt scotches are.   
      
    NB> Are they substantially less expensive than the Scotches....?   
      
   Nope.  The 10yo is about the same as the Macallan 10yo which is around 10 CAD   
   greater than Glenlivet 12yo.  You could always check it out for yourself at;   
      
     https://www.glenoradistillery.com/store/   
      
   Nice pictures of labels etc. and I noted that the 14yo label claims, "North   
   America's First Single Malt Whisky", while the 10yo label states, "Canada's   
   Only Single Malt Whisky".  If the 10yo label is to be believed then all their   
   single malts will have to represent how Canadian single malt whiskies stack up   
   against the Scots.  It looks like we only get one shot at it distillery-wise   
   but they appear to have a healthy lineup.  However;   
      
     https://www.eater.com/drinks/2016/6/7/11739520/single-malt-whi   
   key-scotch-america   
      
   lists the top 12 American single malt whisky distilleries so perhaps youse   
   have a better shot at it.   
      
    NB> What did he think of the Gold...?   
      
   He liked it but agreed with me that the cheaper Glenlivet 12yo is the way to   
   go all things considered.   
      
    NB> He'll probably drop in after the 1st for a wee nip of the 15yo,   
    NB> if he remembers you bought it...  :)   
      
   Yes.  It seems highly likely and I know I won't refuse him.  He is a good   
   neighbour and friend.   
      
   Life is good,
