I’m on the hunt. I found a place in Van Nuys that says it’ll ship.
They emailed me a couple of spreadsheets. Prices included, but I’m sure they
don’t include shipping. Laws on shipping hard liquor in the US are arcane
(shock!), and many date back to prohibition. Those who don’t want to ship
product fall back on those laws that no one enforces, or so I’m told.
Ben Nevis, 15 years, distilled 1998, bottled 2014, aged in port barrels, $126.95
Glenlivet, 36 years, distilled 1976, bottled 2013, Oak barrel, $261.95
Dalwhinnie, 15 years, $56.95
Edradour, 10 year, $54.95 (That’s what I paid here.)
HEY PIERS! Highland Park, 30 years, $542.95
Highland Park, 18 years, $115.95 ($132.50 at my shop.)
Jura Superstition, (doesn’t give age) $43.95 (I think that’s less than I paid.)
It goes on. They have a lot of single malts. I’m forwarding the email to you.
The attachments are excel spreadsheets.
