The Liquor Barn in Prescott Valley still has it, or did the last time I was in.

Hmmmmm, I wonder if it was just an urban myth.

Still, it is hard to find here locally. I wonder why.

Lagavulin, I hardly knew ye.

So lets not worry about any shortage as yet, only the outrageous TAX on whisky (last i heard 93%) which will change when Scotland becomes independent in 2 yrs time.

You are no doubt quite correct that the taxes will not remain at 93% on whisky. It will have to be double that to pay for all the promises that have been made,by certain people. I will say no more.

Isn't this about whisky? Let's not make it about taxes.

Anyway, I think he was wrong. Maybe he just didn't have any and made up some excuse...

Just picked up a bottle up here in Flagstaff.

Lass likes it.

I think it smells kinda like Hillshire Farms sausage.

The only Lagavulin in my local package store is a 16-year-old. I'd like a wider choice.

Say it ain't so, but there's not a drop left here in AZ that I can find.

heavy sigh.

I am the Master of Whisky for the Classic Malts Slection wich includes Lagavulin. It did not bun down. It is a tiny distillery working to capacity. We given it all she's got.
