Help with Booze question

My friend loves to drink gin. In fact, he ONLY drinks gin. I wanted to get him a bottle of gin that he says "is hard to get a hold of". Its called Magellan Gin (french gin). Ive hit a few LCBOs with no luck. Some online vendors sell it but i was thinking that all booze must be sold through the liquor board. Before i investigate further i was wondering if anyone has bought any other foreign liquor like authentic Absinthe.

There is a bar called Castro's on Queen St. in the Beaches (a few blocks East of Woodbine) that serves absinthe.
For both of you, go to the Summerhill LCBO and ask them to order whatever you want. I had them get me absinthe a few years ago. |

absinthe? over rated, over hyped and not worth the price or effort to get a hold of in my opinion. if youre getting it just to try it youll probably be disappointed.
and gin always tasted like pine-sol, to me. |

It's an acquired taste, just like most hard liquor
I like the fragrance of gin, though not so much the taste |

I never got that "acquired taste" thing. I'm sure fermented peach juice is an aquired taste too, after you drink enough of it, but why would you, when there are so many much-better alternatives out there?
How did "acquired taste" drinks rise to popularity anyway? Someone comes up with a drink, tastes it, and thinks, "Ugh, this tastes like dead hooker ass", gives it to his buddy, he drinks it, and goes, "Yeah, this does taste like dead hooker ass... let's keep drinking it." Is that the thought process here?
for the record, gin is about the only hard alcohol I can't drink straight either. |

yea like mentioned above you can just order from any lcbo, although there might be a service/shipment charge added on?
