sku Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Where do you travel?There are many great on-line retailers that have Scotch. Two of the best are:Binny's www.binnys.comHi-Time Wine www.hitimewine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasH Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Shoppers Viineyard in New Jersey has some decent scotch too. Also, depending on how close to Detroit you are, cross the bridge or go through the tunnel to Canada and check out the duty free stores. They sometimes have some nice duty free only bottles!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 There's a great store The Boozer turned me on to in Bloomfield Hills. They have a great selection of Scotch, and actually sell the BTAC at state minimum (shocking).It's called Hills and it's at 41 W Long Lake rd., just west of Woodward.Anyway, if you go to Indianapolis ever, Vine & Table in Carmel and Kahn's at 52nd and Keystone both have decent selections.

LeoDLion Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 The main liquor store here in Houston, Tx is SPECS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutter Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I have no problem finding even the rarest scotch, if only I could say the same for bourbon!There must be some sort of solution to both our problems!? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesW Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 When I was in San Fran, the place to get good scotch (which I did) was BevMo. They had a great selection and fairly decent prices. The best prices by far I've found thus far though is in the New Hampshire state run liquor stores (20-30% cheaper but selection is wanting).

Also, for my own clarification, I assume I actually have to cross the border to utilize duty-free shopping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, for my own clarification, I assume I actually have to cross the border to utilize duty-free shopping?You do have to cross the border. Here's an idea, though. There's a great bbq restaurant in Windsor, called Tunnel BBQ that's just on the other side of the tunnel. Make sure you bring your passport along and go get lunch or supper there, and hit the duty free on the way back. Bourbon-wise, they don't have much, but if you like Canadian, Scotch or Irish they have some stuff. There's a Dewar's four-pack of minis that is a good buy and a good chance to try their different expressions.Here's another idea: if you're in the area and have some time, drop me a pm and we can have a drink!

OscarV Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 and hit the duty free on the way back. Josh, I think you should go to the Duty Free on the USA side on your way into Canada. I got 1 liters of WT 101 8yo and WT Sherry Signature that way.That was at the bridge crossing, I can't do tunnels because clastaphobia. (that's gotta be spelled wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmarkle Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I completely agree. There's no better way to buy most scotches than Duty Free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(that's gotta be spelled wrong)Sounds good, but I'm boycotting the bridge because of that thieving, evil MF Matty Moroun. Ask Mr. bonneamie about him. He has fun tale to tell about how Matty literally stole a park from the city of Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
