Congrats DVD Connoisseur and TFS the pics of that bottle with us.
Yes, it's possible to get, through my Liquor Board, the bottle from the U.K. but the whole thing will cost me...the price of another bottle
So, instead of paying Cnd $125 I'll have to add another $100 for transport/fees/exportation/border tariffs, etc)
Too much for my liking |

Yes, thanks for the nice pictures !
I have a question though :
The person in the UK who accepted to order the bottle at Amazon.co.uk says it will be shipped today (or so).
Now, I live in France. I know that for private use, you have the right to import alcohol (especially from within EU) if the quantity is less than 10 litres.
How does it work on Royal Mail's side ? Is it authorized to send as a gift one bottle of whisky to someone living in France ?
Could someone in the UK give me an advice here ? |

UPS won't handle it either... and so I'm guessing the same applies to FedEx...
I'm looking into a company called TNT, they say they'll ship anything... I'm sure it'll be expensive... Plan B is shipping the bottle empty. _________________ Monsieur, azonnal kövessen engem bitte |

Plan B for me will be the guy bringing the bottle in person (he'll visit us by the end of the year), but still...
I know UK has strict regulations... (for example I had no real trouble with importing Tome blasters in France)
This UK website offers international shipping : https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/customerservice/delivery-charges
Special courier ? DHL ? |

Called customer service, they said they're currently out of stock but are waiting for confirmation from the distributor and are happy to add interested parties to a waiting list. |

I put a call in to a popular package store in Atlanta they couldn't confirm anything. considering the list nc-wilm-fx posted. I'm not going to hold my breath. Might have to call some folks in WA, see if I can track one down. _________________ full tilt boogie baby

So, How are companies like Master of Malt getting around the shipping thing? They are one of the first companies that I called and, although they don't have confirmation that they are getting any, yet, they ship pretty much worldwide and are located in the UK. |

Maybe Don't know yet, but am trying to figure something out! Perhaps some tiny private carrier... _________________ Monsieur, azonnal kövessen engem bitte |
