Anyone try these?View attachment 244285

Rare Character tends to be a solid pour, some even can be incredible. Spec's tends to do a pretty good job with their barrel picks, so I'd expect this to be a pretty good bottle, especially at 11.25 years. When you get a chance to try it, let us know what you think.

Blue Label is a pretty good Scotch and a something that is nice to recieve as a gift. The nice thing about Johnnie Walker is that you can count on exceptional consistency. Blue Label today tastes like one from 20 years ago and has a great balance between fruit, floral, and smoke.

The Breckenridge Dark Arts is a pretty pricey bottle. I'll be especially interested in your thoughts on it as that is as it's 3x to 5x (depending where you get it) more expensive that what a lot other premium ASM whiskey sells for. Batch 9 of this was reported to be 6.5 years which puts it at $45 - $75/year aged and the general rule of thumb should be $10 - $15/year for most aged whiskey, $20 - $25 for something more unique or rare. A batch from 2021 was a blend of 4 - 10 year old whiskies.

Up at Red Mountain to do some skiing until Monday. Didn't want to risk getting anything confiscated, so left everything at home and grabbed a bottle from the liquor store in Rossland.



Taking the rest home is "risky" according to good old Google AI. They will either allow or seize it. Figure if there's any left, take it, declare it and either be good or hand it over.

Granted I had my fully stocked travel trailer, but I crossed the border both directions (different places) with several open bottles of hard liquor. Nobody cares but make sure you declare as personal consumption just in case. If you have a US passport they will just wave you through on re-entry.

You can bring a lot of liquor back into the US (I believe 5 liters). Typically first bottle is duty free and the next 5 you would technically want to declare. That said, I've come back in with 14 bottles and didn't declare them and no one cared. It's a lot of paperwork for what would amount to a very small duty they'd collect.

Just be sure to put it into your checked bag. Also, since the bottle has been opened, get some plastic wrap to wrap the bottle several times to keep the cork from popping out due the difference in air pressure in transit.
