And I seldom drink the liquor I collect, only on very special occasions. |
150 is weak... I bought this bottle in Pennsylvania last summer;
I'm going across the border for the weekend, and hope to find me another one or two. |

Yes I've contacted 4 agents directly and have tried the private route. In fact, I just came from the LCBO at summerhill, it seems literally impossible to persuade a supplier to ship 1 bottle alone--due to laboratory testing costs--so I've been advised to contact the distillery directly. Since I sure as hell cannot afford to pay for a entire box of vintage Glenlivet. |

yeah the 190 is tricky to get, it's illegal in a lot of states including Michigan where I make frequent trips for liquor...among other things. |

LCBO does not carry the bottles I'm looking for--in fact, they were the ones that directed me to their distributors, and they told me I can only purchase them in boxes.
I'm currently looking for:
Glenlivet 12 Year Old Unblended 1970's or 1980's
Glenlivet XXV
Glenlivet 1972 CC

If I never have another bottle of Glenlivit, I shall die a happy man. It's really the barfy aftertaste that kills it for me. |

"Hey chief. You know where I can get some good firewater?" :toothless |

Couldn't find any firewater today :(
I settled for a 1.5L bottle of Vodka for $10.99. We are so being taxed out of our ass. |

I'm with you on that. Love a nice Islay or Lowland myself. Port Ellen, Ardbeg, Inverleven... The Glenlivets I've tried just haven't floated my boat, but to each their own of course. |
