My brother brings whisky from Scotland to Canada all the time and has never had a problem. He puts it in a hard cardboard tude type container and places it in the center of the suitcase surrounded by clothes and copious quantities of Cadbuy choclate bars. He declares it at srrivals in Canada. All good. Try a bottle of Fettercairn if you can track it down, it is called old socks in our house!
