Regrettably, this product is non-returnable and non-exportable.
Damn! I was just about to order a couple of cases to surprise you too...

Never mind, I'll see if I can find you a bottle of this instead. I'm sure it'll be just as good!

I was thinking this might be an acceptable substitute:

It's been my experience that really great scotch is not worth it. Sure it tastes good and is smooth, but at $13000 a bottle, forget about it. Jonny Walker black is fine and only $40.

My brother bought a bottle of Jonny Walker Blue for my 50th birthday (about $150/bottle) and while it was nice, it wasn't worth the price.

That price is in UK pounds O-n-W, which translates to $21,578.07 US or $21,646.54 Au or $21,945.01 Can.

I've had a shot of a 300 quid a bottle whisky, and while it was wonderful, I couldn't justify the price of a second gulp.

Oh $21,578 is much more reasonable. :shrug

Nothing you consume (eat/drink) is worth that much. A car yes, and at least it stays around a lot longer than a bottel of scotch (at least in my house). ;)

Hey, what happened to that bottle of scotch those archeologists dug up? Did they try it or not? Image

You couldn't run a gas powered lawn mower on it.... :D

Pushed the boat out on holiday, at the vineyards, we had;

Wolf Blass "Black Label Cabernet Savignon/Shiraz/Malbec" 2006 ($130.00 bottle)

Wolf Blass "Platinum Label Shiraz" 2007 ($169.00 bottle)

But my favourite of all, and I'm having a case of it for my next birthday;

Image

Kaesler "Old Bastard" 2005 ($160.00 bottle.)

Absolute liquid velvet the lot of them.
