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

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.

I should have mentioned that £30 retail in the UK includes excise duty
and sales tax (VAT), which wouldn't apply to exports. The UK retail
price excluding duty and VAT would be about £20. Cheap whisky in the
UK is about £10, inc duty and taxes (70cl).
