KrispinD Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I found an online retailer that sells BG for $70 with a $40 shipping charge added on. Not outrageous, but wondering if anyone has found it cheaper. Any help sourcing a few bottles in the $65-80 range would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

DeepCover Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 You can get a group together that's interested in the Blanton's duty free bottles and drop the shipping charges quite a bit. I did that recently with a few SBers and other friends. Other than that, you can happen upon a bottle in a duty free shop like my friend did last week.

Where can you order duty free bottles from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 You have to spread the shipping across multiple bottles to make the international orders worthwhile. The cheapest I found Blanton's Gold is $225 shipped for 3 bottles. PM me if you want details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliER Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Did you look at master of malt? I bought a couple bottles from them last December, one was Blanton's Gold. With shipping the Blanton's gold was $91. A bit over the duty free price, but better than waiting for travel as I don't have flights planned any time soon. Even with the travel it's not a guarantee a store will have it on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Master of malt quoted me $91 to ship three bottles of scotch. Two of the three said bottles were priced $40-$50 lower than other euro sites. I didn't mess around with other products to confirm the shipping rates, but it seemed like they were gouging s/h to make up for the low prices.

Some rules recently changed (or something to that effect) and all of the UK sellers that ship to the US had to up their s/h charges to account for customs and duty processing.

Even numbers of bottles always ship cheaper with them vs. odd numbers. I've done the math many times, in many different ways. Best bang for the buck is 2qty. 700-750ml bottles and 4 samples. All fits in their standard box and arrives via FedEx in 5 days or less (usually 3) for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottles we're discussing are duty free: Gold, Special Reserve, SFTB and a few other rarities like Silver, PBD, PBN, etc. Master of Malt has been my go-to, but there are others.
