Talisker 10 Year Old

Glad you like it! For me Talisker usually carries a bit more alcohol burn than I like. I've had one without it but that one had been open for well over a year.

@Alexsweden I like a bit of a burn. This one didn't have too much of one for me but yeah it was more than some older whiskies like the Dalmore 15 and macallan 12 sherry I had this week.

@casualtorture, at $ 27 you could go into the re-sale business! That is a steal of a deal.

You might want to pick up more at that price, because you can be pretty sure that it will not remain at that price.

What @Victor said. I would be bunkering my lifetime supply at that price.

Yep, I "third" what @Victor said. For $27, you oughtta be loading up a steamer with Talisker 10 to meet your mob contacts in Canada and Australia.

OK, we need a lottery here. How many days will it take before @casualtorture's $ 27 price doubles? 3, 10, 20, 30? My money is on this price lasting 5 more days. Will it be the second, or third time that @casualtorture tries to buy it that he finds the price "adjusted"? Move fast, @casualtorture, if you like Talisker 10 as much as you say you do. Otherwise you will be one more contemporary cautionary tale about not knowing the true value of things and missing your chance when you had it.

@Victor not to mention that all those bottles are likely the same batch. Even if found in the future it might not be the same batch. Grab a lifetime supply now....

Just opened a bottle of the 10 year old, not as easy to find recently but well worth the hunt.

Unfortunately bringing 20 bottles of whisky back from China to the US might be an issue otherwise I would. Anyone ever tried it? I wouldn't want my lifetime supply to get seized by customs. It's illegal to ship liquor to Alabama otherwise that would be an option.

@casualtorture You could ship i to a friend in another state but the costs might be prohibitive. But even if you brought it with you, if the duty was 100% the cost it would still be cheaper than buying it own Ontario.

@casualtorture, yes, I guess you are stuck with bringing back whisky by plane. Bringing 20 bottles into the US by plane would be quite a trick, but it is easy to do by automobile. By car, they are really only interested in preventing commercial re-sale, and don't want to be bothered collecting the relatively low US duties and fees unless they suspect commercial activity. That said, 20 bottles of the SAME whisky would look suspicious to them. Your duty would likely only result in somewhere between 5 and 20% increased cost, depending on how they decide to apply them. The bottom line is that it would be tough to put large numbers of bottles in air cargo.

On the other hand, if you get a modest number like 6 more of them, you can drink 3 or 4 of them before you leave and can probably bring maybe 4 of them back in luggage. At that price you can afford to treat your buddies.
