If the price is high, one needs a better excuse than if it is easily

 NB>> Celebrating Canada's 150th year with a Canadian single malt...?

That was the actual "birthdate"... but the year continues through until
July 1st, 2018...  :)  We don't do celebrations all that much ourselves,

That's been my policy all along..  ;)
