I flew to London in 1989 with a bottle of Wild Turkey and a bottle of Cuervo (I was 21) in my packed bag. Didn't turn out well...

For domestic flights, you can legally pack up to 5 liters of alcohol per person in checked baggage as long as it’s under 140 proof and sealed in its factory packaging/wrapper. Whether they check closely for any of those criteria is probably a crapshoot. My guess is that an opened bottle probably gets thru especially if it’s wrapped up properly to protect it during transit.

International flights also follow those same regulations but customs declarations/rules also need to be adhered to depending on the direction the alcohol is going. I have no clue what the rules were back in 89 but I’m guessing you probably violated them :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Anyone sitting on a bottle of Mortlach 16 Flora and Fauna that you want to part with?

Huge fan of Mortlach but don't have the F&F. Curious as to why you're looking for this specific bottle, Scott. I'll keep my eyes open...

Sampled it last night and really liked it, and would like to give it a few more rounds, but told it’s harder to find now a days….at least at a fair price

Best reason for seeking out a bottle, for sure! Yes, it's hard to find. I didn't think they had released it since early '10s but it seems there's a '20 release. Mortlach has now an official 16yo release that should be pretty close to the F&F (other than the F&F being distilled mid-'90 most likely), around a hindi. My guess you'd pay 3x that for the F&F, for the collectability of it...

No problems with customs. Plastic cap on the tequila was definitely a problem. I got a lot of looks on the train from Gatwick to Leeds.

Small batch? I always have a handle of that stocked :)
 
One of my poker buddies walked in with this bottle at the last game and handed it over. "Someone gave this to me and it's terrible, but I figured you'd drink it!"

Well, maybe about the terrible thing he was lol. It's definitely different than your typical Irish, drinks more like a scotch and I do like sherry cask finishes. Very nice for a low octane start to the evening.

One of my white whales. Passed on it at £32 one year visiting my in-laws in London, then the supply completely dried up. Still looking.
