I had been trying my luck to find it in the states, but even the distillery says you can’t get it here.

You’re right, that IS a steal. Great find, and that’s awesome that your wife got it for you. The Whisky Exchange has both the 2006 and 2007 gift packs available for approximately 60 GBP ($90) each plus shipping.

My wife actually bought me a bottle of the 7th release for my birthday. There is a store in NYC (Warehouse Wines and Spirits) that sells it for $280 – a steal.

I’m not sure if/when I will open it, but I really want a taste. I think I’ll probably order this sample pack. Can you get it directly from Diageo, or did you get it at a local store?

I was going to write up a separate post just to raise awareness of these gift packs (even though the little devil on my shoulder said not to tell anybody and keep ordering more for myself as I get the chance). I can’t believe they didn’t all sell out right away.

Thanks for the notes and the heads-up on the gift pack. I might just have to follow suit.
