Sour Mash Esq. Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I have visitors arriving from abroad, and these visitors will ask if they should look for anything in particular at the duty free shop. Has anybody been through one lately and have a suggestion? I can't find Blanton's, Eagle Rare or any Weller around me, so that's going to be my thought, perhaps Stagg.

Much of duty free these days seems to be "special" bottles with fancy names full of thin low proof NAS whisky, especially with scotch. Bourbon is at best hit or miss no matter where you are but the Blanton's higher proof bottles are an option if they can be found, especially SFTB. Amsterdam was usually one airport with a decent number of options but it has now been a year and a half since my last trip there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and forth to Vancouver every week for a few months a couple years ago. Whole lotta Jack Daniels and not much else. Good luck.

Whole lotta Jack Daniels and not much else. Good luck. Still the case. Just passed through Vancouver a few weeks ago and nothing exciting in Duty Free. Jack galore indeed and no BT stuff. While not bourbon, I did pick up a few bottles of Nikka From the Barrel (Japanese whisky) at a liquor store in town (did not have in duty free). Not available in the US and I really really dig the stuff. Did not see any hard to find bourbon in the liquor store though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a look and the only possible item of interest is Weller Special Reserve (assuming you can't get it in Ohio.) http://m.bcliquorstores.com/m/products/3?score=4.072725&score=4.17647&score=3.45&score=4.13793&score=3.85496&score=4.092435&score=4.068025&score=4.32&score=4.285715&score=3.962025&score=3.80769&score=3.972605&score=4.209425&score=2.90909&score=4.168675&score=4.235295&score=4.22807&score=3.958905&score=4.163935&score=2.95122&fts%5BPrice%5D%5Bmin%5D=&fts%5BPrice%5D%5Bmax%5D=&fts%5BVolume%5D%5Bmin%5D=&fts%5BVolume%5D%5Bmax%5D=&fts%5BConsumer_Rating%5D%5Bmin%5D=0&fts%5BType%5D%5B%5D=5&fts%5BCountry%5D%5B%5D=108&sts%5B%5D=name%7CASC It's on page three.

kevinbrink Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Well, not sure about Vancouver but if they have similar inventory to Niagara you can get one of these for yourself! http://www.niagaradutyfree.com/products.aspx?ItemID=17&CatID=62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limegoldconvertible68 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I believe you can still find age stated Wild Turkey in some Duty Free stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyce Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Flew out of Milan ,Italy - Malpensa , a few days ago . The whiskey selection at the Duty Free store was terrible. Less than 10 Bourbons, Tennessee Whiskeys and Irish combined, and not much more in Scotch . Other than a few high end Scotches , nothing that's not available here.
