And to try and answer your question, when you buy liquor at Duty Free they will place it into a sealed plastic bag that you take on the plane with you. Some airlines require that it's given to the crew to pass out to you as you board.

Curious, did the price increase after it was mentioned in a rap song? Thats quite the stash, especially at $90-$100 per bottle.

Some airports carry unique liquor that could be hard to find elsewhere. Value-wise, most of times are not cheaper. I was flying back home last week and the DFS in HKG carries the new Hennessy XXO. Sales lady said it was just released few weeks ago and HKG is one of the very few place at the moment you can buy it and also lowest price. Did not believe it and it was selling for around USD 550. Came home doing more researches and regretting not getting the bottle. |

Do you have to declare the booze? I don't recall seeing booze as an item to be declared, but I may have missed it.

Okay, the Bumbu is pretty good. Very smooth and sweet like butterscotch. Definitely good over ice on a hot summer night like tonight. TXSTYLE, I think you'd like it.

This is nice when you can get it, probably about $30 USD, easy drinking neat, also love me some Kirk and Sweeny 23 but tough to get so I use it sparingly.

I've tried the Kirk and Sweeney 23, and you're right, it's very good. Never seen the Pyrat. I'll keep an eye out for it. We're heading to Champaign tomorrow, so I'll grab some Plantation 20 for sure and look for the Pyrat. Rum on ice is my summer favorite.

I believe you are allowed 2liters duty-free into US. (That's my standard each trip through LHR). One important note: if you have another flight after entering US, then you MUST put the bottles into your checked luggage for next flight. Even if in sealed bag, TSA won't let you pass with your liquor. |

Pyrat is definitely not what I would consider sipping rum. Has too much bite. Makes a great mixer though.
I've heard about the K&W. I'll try it. |

Look for the Bumbu as well. Very drinkable.

I bought a bottle of Basil Hayden Darker Rye (or something like that) at Costco, but my son helped me unload the car and I can't figure out where he put it.
Spent quite a bit of time at BILIL's house. Put a lot of Grey Goose into bottles of Bai lemonade flavors. Was actually pretty good on a warm afternoon outside. |

honestly, i think they're only concerned if you're trying to bring back quantities that appear like you might want to re-sell them. note: last trip we were finally approved for global entry...made that whole customs and immigration process so much less stressful!
