I came across a pub about an hour from here in Ontario which has a number of single malts I have never tried before and for what appears to be very reasonable prices. Here's the list and which ones would you recommend. These are all 1 ounce with a price of either 3.89 or 5 pounds British pounds equivalent. More than half of them are at 3.89 an ounce dram and the other half, 5 pounds. I'm thinking of taking a drive there with a friend sometime soon.

. I have to say I am quite impressed with a pub carrying drams one rarely sees in a pub especially in Canada and for really reasonable prices.

There are a few there that would tempt me, i would go for the Imperial, Mortlach, Inchgower, Glenallachie just to experience something off my normal beaten track.

Not so much a recommendation, but all I would say is stay away from the Drumguish!

I checked out some reviews online Alex on this one and the first review I found was this one: " It isn't nasty exactly, but it isn't a very exhilarating experience".

I suspect a few of the bottles on the list have been around for some time for example the Tamnavulin-Glenlivet 10 year old distillery bottling would be from the 1990's possibly 1980's. You wonder where it has been all this time and it is now on the whisky list in a bar.

Murray did you just see a menu or were the bottles on display as i suspect there may be a few older bottlings from some time ago, some may be considered better but some of today's bottlings would be better for example the Deanston 12 46% non chill filtered bottling you get now is far superior to the old Deanston 40% bottling.

Hi Keith. I saw the list not the actual bottles. In addition to the lower priced ones I mentioned they have hundreds of premium single malts with a total inventory of about 400 single malt expressions and multiple bottles per expression probably valued over $1,000,000 Canadian.

Sounds like a fantastic bar.
