Its not bad either... definitly a dust since they have not made any since the 80s.

Nice Find....

There is also a version that was made in Hawaii. I have about 1/2 half of teh 375ml I found there this year... it is an 80 proof and very tasty... the old guy that owned the liquor store had one left at home and he was nice enough to sell it to me...

I didnt bid on it, but its going for about $5. You make it sound like its worth the money. . . .

For $5 - hell yeah... it is more of a collectors item that anything else... I have not had that bourbon, but as I understand it, it was good.

The stuff made on the Island I would buy if I could find anymore... If you can get that one for $30... I would in a flash...

That one you show says it was distilled in Kentucky. Spun, are you saying there was another version that said it was distilled in Hawaii?

I recall another thread that discussed this bourbon. David you may want to search around for it if you're really interested...

My bid is in for $10 bucks, for this fine Heaven Hill product.

Next year, when I go to my friends Hawaiian themed house party, I will have a Hawaiian themed gift.

Btw, to highjack my own thread, how much would it cost to send a bottle from Los Angeles to Arizona? or Oregon? Or New Jersey?

I will likely be in LA in June, and in a trading mood.

For one bottle $15, two is $20, 3 is $25, 4-5 is arouf $30.

It veries a little and I might be high from LA a couple $ on each... Nut that is close

That's a good one. Only in Japan.

I'm still waiting, however, to see a Very Happy Special Bourbon or something like that. :fish2:

Spun's prices look about right. Just a few days ago I sent a bottle to Cali and think usps priority which is 2-3 days was just under $13. Of course there is the issue that you're not supposed to be sending it through the USPS, but well....

Christian,
Sorry, missed this earlier. Yes, the King at one time wanted Hawaii known for all kinds of spirits. There was a bourbon distilled in Hawaii at one time. Ended back in the 70s at some point.

Off topic, but relevant to Nihon.
