Now that I have a couple of the new Johnnie Walker bottles, I'm not as enamoured with them as I thought I might be. It isn't a bad bottle design, it just doesn't speak to me. Weird, I know.
Maybe if I drank the stuff... |

Perhaps. If they cost me a few dollars less...
That is, by the way, a fine array of emoji, Anders.  |

Thank you, I put a lot of thought into those emojis
Of course. Only joking. I know that feeling. You could always sell. I'm sure there are still people out there looking

It actually tastes really good. I suggest making one of the cocktails created during promotion of the film that uses it as an ingredient, Ode to Dreams. Fantastic. |

Update for Canadians:
The local distributor has said they are getting it in. They have also said that they aren't.
Fingers crossed, there's a 50/50 chance I guess.
My other option is to drive down to Washington and pay the duty on bringing it back. |

| I've never brought alcohol over the border, how much is the duty? Is there an allowance for gifts? |

For Canadians, we have no exemption unless you stay 48 hours or more on the USA side.
We get a $800 exemption per person and that includes either 2 bottles of wine, 1 L of spirits or a case of beer.
So when I bring back my 2 bottles I need to be with my wife to be fully exempt but usually they will let us pas with 2 x 750ml bottles.

Ah, ok. I'm Canadian, but I've lived in the US for a long time now. If there are some Canadians who wanted one, but weren't able to get it there, I'd potentially be willing to bring some up the next time I visit & mail it to them.
I wasn't sure about entering the country with it, and I don't know if there are laws about mailing it to various provinces from within Canada. |

Mine arrived today a wonderful gift from a friend..
Sadly the gift and I were both blessed with a $200.00 import and quarantine fee
Even so, I am very grateful to have it!

Yeah, I was pretty angry about it joberg because it was stopped and they opened the bottle which means that even if I wanted to drink it, I can't since the seal has been tampered with.
It sat in quarantine for just under 4 weeks and part of the $200.00 was I assume for board and lodging for my bottle in the quarantine offices. 
Its a gorgeous bottle and I have no regrets. Australian J.Walker didn't make it available here...
Regards,
MARK

Isn't it illegal to tamper with those seals, especially in the import office? Australia sounds surprisingly corrupt.
