Bourbon in Hong Kong?

[MikeK]

I have a mule, I mean friend, traveling to Hong Kong in a few weeks. Anyone been through there recently to report on what export-only treasures I might have him look for. WT-12 is certainly on the list.

Thanks!

I would imagine some of the rarer blanton's should be available.

Blantons - Excellent idea.

Also, other than the Duty Free, if anyone knows of good liquor store(s) to send my mule to, that would be quite helpful.

Thanks!

I'll second the Blanton's. You may want to send pictures to help him differentiate, because I've seen at least three different varieties of Blanton's Gold on the shelves in various countries.:skep:

There is a website for the HK duty free shops and it looks like they have WT-8, WT-12, and Blantons Gold/Silver. Sweet!

I was hoping for the Blanton's 'Straight from the Barrel', too bad...

Smart man about the pictures. I made him several printouts with pictures and instructions

At 99 and 103 proofs, are these Blantons significantly more interesting than the normal product at 93 proof?

Cheers!
