While it's terribly frustrating to not have great range locally (I'm four hours east of Seattle on the WA/ID border and all of our liquor stores are state run) the internet has taken out some of the sting. I have a great relationship with Beltramo's and Shoppers Vineyard have a lot of great deals. While it makes me sweat on occasion, shipping directly from Loch Fyne Whiskies, Master of Malt or The Whisky Exchange (all in the UK) isn't too costly a) if you buy enough bottles by including friends in the order and b) since we don't pay 17.5% VAT. Certainly, it's not perfect, but it could be a lot worse. Hope you feel better. A number of us whisky bloggers have had our noses taken out of commission lately! Cheers, Jason @WHISKYhost Tidy article, Richard.
