    That’s what it’s for. I’m sure it was awesome.

      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.

          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.
