All,
When the Majestic $120 a bottle promotion ran last month, I saw a guy walk in right ahead of me and buy an ENTIRE CASE. I kid you not.
My friend and I were shocked and we asked him if he was a restaurant owner. He said, No, it was for his personal collection!!!

You would have to put a gun to my head (and maybe not even that) before I pour MYSELF a 1 oz shot of good whiskey. That is small enough to make me mad. 2 or 3 oz shot is the minimum required.
Now for my friends.. 1 oz is good enough. Heck..I could give them Everclear and they would not know the difference!

ah JW.. definitely the finest of Blended Scotch's.
Cheapest I ever bought one was at the Duty Free on Queenston (Buffalo/Canada) for $125. I also bought one at the other crossing a few miles out for about $135.
I might even seen it for $140 or so ORD duty free, but never bought it.
I consider it a good deal at $140 or below (all inc). Anything higher than that is par for the course, cuz Costco in San Diego sometimes has a bottle for not much more.
I hope to pick up a couple of bottles this month flying back from DEL, hopefully its reasonably priced there since I have a couple of important gifts to give in September.. and i was hoping Johnny Dub Blue would be it!

At Montreal YUL they sell the 1 liter for 185 CAD...which is like $172 USD. Doesn't seem like a "deal" here

Over the past 2 years, I've bought my JW Blue for about $110-125 (after credit card fees and such) in TPE and NRT. I've already gone through two bottles this year...time to head back to Asia!

In my opinion anything sub $130 (with all credit card, forex etc fees in) is a good deal.
If you see one pick it up. If you dont consume it your friends will.

A few weeks ago, my local Costco had a $30 coupon which brought the cost down to $120 for a 750ml size; I bought two.
