Anwalt Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Well, the Italy/Austria thread reminded me of a two-week trip in August. Celebrating some accomplishments on the part of #1 Son. Leaving via Miami (where I can hit duty free and bring it back - perhaps the RR that is only sold in duty free?), Santiago de Chile & Vina del Mar, Buenos Aires, back to Santiago, then a layover in Bogota on the way back to Miami. If anyone has seen anything of note thereabouts, duty-free or otherwise, I should be grateful to hear of it. I do intend to hit Gulmohars in St Maarten next time we are there; it'll be random, probably when some direct flights from PR are cheap and the Wifey desires time on a different island. They have normally most/all of the Blanton varieties, at circa $25 above MSRP. Over-priced in the view of some, understood. Worth the extra couple of bucks for me to try and avoid standing in Ohio lines or the like. I'll report back once I visit there, I did call to confirm what I wrote above. It'll be my chance to see if those bottles are "worth it", I've only tried the SiB. Is the Bermuda duty-free still worthwhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be curious to see if there is anything in Buenos Aires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pre-Covid when I was last there with family at daughter #2's hotel (Fairmont Southampton) - Blanton's Gold in 750ml bottles for $76 and $99 in beautiful Downtown Hamilton's Gosling's liquor store.
