FORTY CREEK PORT WOOD RESERVE – RESERVATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
Posted by Arctic Wolf on May 17, 2012
It was announced on the Forty Creek Website about two weeks ago that the second edition of the FORTY CREEK PORT WOOD RESERVE will be released for sale in September, 2012. This whisky marks the sixth special release for the distillery, and there will be only 6,600 bottles of Port Wood available. (The first release sold out before any bottles left Ontario.) However you can reserve your own numbered bottle if you act before June 7th, as once again Forty Creek is offering Canadian Whisky connoisseurs the opportunity to reserve their own bottle number of Forty Creek Port Wood Reserve. Customers can reserve any number between 0003 and 6,600 (I have already reserved bottle numbers 128, 129 and 130).
The reservation opportunity for numbered bottles began on May 7, and will continue only until 5:00 p.m. on June 7, 2012. As always, the reserved bottles must be purchased and picked up at the Forty Creek Distillery in Grimsby, Ontario, on the scheduled release day for the whisky in September. The distillery is unable (due to provincial and federal regulations) to ship the reserved bottles in the mail or across provincial borders.
Bottles numbers are reserved on a first come, first served basis. Port Wood Reserve will retail for $69.95.

Chip,
Is it likely that the only way we’re going to be able to get one of these if we live in Alberta is to reserve a bottle and then have someone in Ontario pick it up for us? Or do you think some of the release will make it’s way to Alberta through the regular channels?

Hi Laurence
I was informed shortly after I posted the article, that Shiralli Agencies will be bringing 100 cases into Alberta. Just to be on the safe side, I am having a friend pick up my three numbered bottles at the distillery.
