Hello all,
So I've been following these recent posts regarding the shortage of Lagavulin, my own personal favourite, all the while watching my last bottle empty slowly away.
I've looked around near where I live (Maryland, DC area) to no avail, so this weekend while visiting my parents' place (PA) I stopped by some stores up there. After two strikes, I found a liquor store with four (4!) bottles on the shelf.
Well, now they have but two, and I am happy, but curious, because the manager said that he was unaware of any shortage. He said about six months ago they had difficulty getting it, but at this point they had a case sitting in a warehouse nearby, and more could be ordered, it seemed.
So is this stuff really in short supply? If so, I should send my father back to pick up the entire case, right?
Best regards, Justin
ps. $46 a bottle.
