    Ok… I wasn’t gonna brag but you are making me jealous.

    I have bottle 339 of the first run. It is in a little wooden box signed by the distiller. Apparently the first batch was given out to certain people of Canadian note/locals. My “Uncle” (mom’s cousin’s husband) was given one from I think the Rankin Family who recieved a few, and Gretzky got #99. My dad’s and I were at the distillery when we saw their remaining bottles for sale, a random smattering of numbers. We asked the price.

    “It’s different for each number” … “What’s the cheapest one?”

    Mom wasn’t very impressed…

    I wanna open that one so bad.

    My other half did the hand bottling as well. Many years ago. That one got drunk lol.

      Very nice, I yield to you good sir. Hopefully they continue to create great whiskey for many years to come.
