There are also loads of Scotch stores around. The last bottle I picked up was the Bunnahabhain 18. Cost about $80 CAD which is 40 bucks cheaper than it is at Kensington Wine Market.
They do piles and piles of idiotic things here in the Far East, but Scotch prices are not one of them! |
How confident are you of the authenticity of it all? Here in Shanghai there is loads of Scotch available too, but over 80% of it is not the genuine article. That includes the bottles available in retail as well as in good restaurants.
