Canadian Whiskey, eh

I would say that we up here use bourbon to do the same, but with the taxes we pay on alcohol, we'd rather just leave it on the store shelf.

 

Bongwater is more betterer.

 

sure am! new waterford

 

I spent 3 great years there for University - many fond memories of my time in Sydney.

 

i graduated from UCCB (CBU) as well with my first degree, when were you there? and where are you from that you ended up there? lol

 

I attended UCCB as well from '93-'95.

I'm originally from the larger island that's east of CB and known for it's friendly people and unique dialect.

 

I like Crown but don't drink them all the same. Regular ole crown I like with coke. The one below, I like neat or on the rocks. When I drink mine neat I just drop the whole bottle in the freezer to chill it. Also been on a bourbon kick the last couple of years and really enjoy those too.

 

you were there when i was, i was there 93-98... so you are a newf! right on man! we likely crossed paths. i ended up down in socal, by way of the south east (hence WERA), yourself?

 

I took the Hospitality Admin (hotel management) program for 3 years while my then girlfriend/now wife took Business/accounting. We lived in Residence year 1 then shared an apartment with friends in Sydney Pier for the last 2 years there. MANY nights at Cutters and Smooth Hermans...

We finished there, moved to the Cayman Islands for 3 years, then back to Canada where we settled in Victoria, BC ever since - one Coast Island to the opposite coast Island.

 

pretty cool! lots of tarabish was played in those days - the university is no where near the same now, and theres never anyone in the cafeteria, and no card playing etc. hermans is long gone too (i ended up barred for life anyway - its kind of a right of passage for guys from my town lol).

 

I have expanded my horizons into Canadian whisky and picked up a bottle of Pendelton's. It is very tasty, but I think I prefer it with a sliver of ice rather than neat. However, I am only a little way into the bottle and will have to try it both ways again and again until I reach a final decision.
