Thanks for the "mention in dispatches", but the credit goes to Big Guy.

As for the whisky? Regrettably, it's out of my price range.

Good point, Big Guy, great job!!! I love this forum, what a great group!

Your hot dogs have a good meat to bun ratio; keep making hot dogs, it'll free up money for your whisky budget.

Well if you say the best ever then I'll have to put it on top of the list next time I make dogs. Even better is Phil's got a calculator for them! thanks Phil
The finish product looks great 'Q

Master of Malt do 3cl sample bottles & their service is second to none.

That is one thing I don't like about Ontario ... the LCBO controls everything. While I am actually supportive of the LCBO and the fact that it brings a ton of money into public coffers, I truly dislike that I can not order alcohol online at all. There are so many online services and some of them (Master of Malt in particular) have selections of products that I can never get here. The LCBO will special order just about any alcohol they do not carry but they have a minimum of at least one case and the markup is crazy. If I just wanted to try a bottle or several different bottles that were not carried it is impossible.

I wish I could order from Master of Malt ... sigh ...

It's funny that Masters of Malt should get a mention; I did a review for them a while back:

Hey Comrade, what are the rules for someone in the US sending a bottle to someone in Canada?
Maybe as a gift?

Still not allowed. I know people that have done it with cigars or booze, it's like rolling the dice though as it is a gamble if it gets confiscated or not. A coworker recently ordered cigars off a site in the states and all $400+ of them were confiscated ... he moaned about that for at least a week afterwards, lol! So draconian ... I'm not a heavy drinker but I do enjoy a tipple now and then and I get promo emails from a site called Caskers in the U.S and there are so many things I would love to try but can't. From what I understand, Canadian customs is very good at catching booze, a wild guess from what I have heard puts it at around 50/50, obviously bigger shipments stand a higher chance of being found. I guess a bottle here or there would be more likely to slip by but having never tried myself I am purely speculating.

Edit: The LCBO website says it is possible but they need to be the broker and the tax and surcharge would be a huge markup making it a very expensive proposition. I inquired once for a certain scotch and was told min order was a case but if someone sends it (not ordered through the LCBO) it seems possible.
