Stalk & Barrel whisky is no longer available at any NSLCs in Halifax NS. Why?

Please sell https://t.co/9UhdKxTZyd whisky. It is one of the best Canadian whiskies.

Pronunciation alert!
'Kilometre' is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable, not the second syllable.
kil'ahm-et-er -- illiterate hick mispronunciation
'kil-o-mee-ter -- correct
