They rate Tyrconnell as being really inconsistent from bottle to bottle. By the way, I discovered an amazing bargain whisky through their website. Although I live in Canada, I'm not a big fan of Canadian whisky, but I tried Forty Creek Barrel Select, which is a single barrel whisky at a very modest price, because Whisky Magazine gave it a very postitive review. I have to admit that I bought the bottle with some scepticism. I simply could not believe that I was drinking a Canadian whisky, as in terms of depth and complexity, it is utterly unlike any other Canadian I've tried. If any whisky fans on this list have access to Forty Creek Barrel Select, I strongly suggest trying it -- we really are talking about something that can stand in the company of a bottle of 12 year old The Macallan, at a fraction of the price. I suspect once word of this gets around, the price will go up remarkably. Mark On 7/3/05, Bill O'Connell <woc2@earthlink.net> wrote: > Mark, > Have not had the pleasure of trying her, 'er, it.
