They will then add a "mark-up" to your purchase so that, even though it might be something they do not sell, something that they incurred NO expense in bringing into the Province, they will STILL take a cut of the proceeds.

Ouch! that sucks...

Butzy, 1) You have to list those off. 2) Are those regular size or miniatures? I'm having a hard time with the perspective.

I have Glenfarclas and Ardbeg Uegeadail on my have to try (and Christmas) list. Fingers crossed.

1)
Cragganmore 12
Johnny Walker Blue
Glenfarclas 21
Laphroaig 10
Macallan 15 oak
Ardbeg Auriverdes
Longmorn 16
Glenfiddich 18
Glenlivet 18
Lagavulin 16
Aberlour 18
Oban 14
2)
Those are full sized bottles

Wowsers, Butzy! It looks like you are set. Now all you need is a nice leather sedan chair and a yule log. I keep hearing Glenfarclas whisky tastes like Christmas cake, so nice timing on that one.

I've tried three of those and they were all very nice: The Laphoroaig 10, Oban 14, and the Lagavulin 16.

Yeah, I won't lie... they were a gift. So if it were up to me I would have probably substituted a few of those for some lesser-known favorites of mine. But they're excellent bottles to be sure.
I've had most of them and the Ardbeg is way too funky for me. Lagavulin I really have to be in the mood for (i.e. really in the mood for drinking something Strong and smokey).

You have a GOOD friend!
