Alternative sacrificial beverages

Just to get Jim Beam Black, I have to ask the local LCBO to order it in special!  I'm kinda out in the boonies...

Ouch.
I know that you have to go to the special store up there for liquor. Liquor authority or something like that.

But I do have fond memories of The Beer Store though.
So many brands to choose from.
I was well stocked.

It's slightly different from province to province, as it's all government regulated, but the retail aspect differs. Quebec is unique in that you can buy wine and beer at corner stores. Alberta and BC have independent retail outlets so they have great hours. I've bought wine at 2am! Here in Ontario there's the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) that have hours reminiscent of prohibition,  and - yep - the Beer Store. Same hours.  There's some movement afoot to privatize retail sales, but that's interpreted as competition for the government... it'll be a while I think.

They just built a huge new LCBO outlet in the town close to me, but it doesn't seem to cater so much to whiskys. (and whiskeys). Lotsa wines and imported and craft beers...  Too bad it's illegal to ship alcohol by mail - I'd get you to send me a bottle!

One word......
Pipeline!
We'll take some of that good Canadian Rye and send some Kentucky bourbon in exchange.

Actually Tangle Ridge is a Jim Beam product.
You have a Beam distillery in Alberta.
They don't make the single batch bourbons though.

I don't drink booze anymore, but to answer the original question, if I WERE i would be thrilled at my recent discovery of MOCHA MIX which I use for my coffee and yerba mate's, etc. since quitting the hard stuff.
It's got the right thickness of half and half.
