In case you haven't heard, there's now a Welsh whisky, a single malt

smooth"... Limited supply, so probably more than $50 a bottle. It's
about £30 in the UK.


79.99 at Sam's Wine and Spirits in Chicago (no relation to Sam's Club)



Hmmm. £30 should be about $48 (@ 1 GBP = $1.59 USD). Sam's Wine and
Spirits in Chicago, and maybe Uncle Sam or the State of Illinois or the
city of Chicago, are taking a nice 67% cut off retail in the UK.

THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!! Especially after the good folks at FedEx shipped it over to
Chicago for free, the payment methods involved were gracious enough to exchange
with commission, the local distributor waived their commission, etc., etc., etc.

HTH,
