That does put a damper on it, then..  ;)

 NB>> Are they substantially less expensive than the Scotches....?

 MK> Nope.  The 10yo is about the same as the Macallan 10yo which is around
 MK> 10 CAD greater than Glenlivet 12yo.  You could always check it out for
 MK> yourself at;  https://www.glenoradistillery.com/store/
 MK> Nice pictures of labels etc. and I noted that the 14yo label claims,
 MK> "North America's First Single Malt Whisky", while the 10yo label
 MK> states, "Canada's Only Single Malt Whisky".  If the 10yo label is to
 MK> be believed then all their single malts will have to represent how
 MK> Canadian single malt whiskies stack up against the Scots.  It looks
 MK> like we only get one shot at it distillery-wise but they appear to
 MK> have a healthy lineup. 

Possibly there could be another and the 10yo label just hasn't been
updated, but, yes, it does appear that they'd be the only game in town
so to speak...  And keeping their price right up there, too.... ;)

 MK> However;  
 MK> https://www.eater.com/drinks/2016/6/7/11739520/single-malt-whiskey-scot
 MK> ch-america 
 MK> lists the top 12 American single malt whisky distilleries so perhaps
 MK> youse have a better shot at it. 

Might be worth a try someday....  I hear that Japan has a respectable
single malt now, too...  ;)

 NB>> What did he think of the Gold...?

 MK> He liked it but agreed with me that the cheaper Glenlivet 12yo is the
 MK> way to go all things considered. 

Some things, the hype just isn't justified sufficiently... ;)

 NB>> He'll probably drop in after the 1st for a wee nip of the 15yo,
 NB>> if he remembers you bought it...  :)

 MK> Yes.  It seems highly likely and I know I won't refuse him.  He is a
 MK> good neighbour and friend. 

And as long as you both keep it to a wee nip, there should be plenty to
save for a later occasion...  ;)
