Bringing back some Scotch ?

I have 3 bottles (yes, with Scotch in them) I'd like to bring back to MSP from EDI. What's the probability they'd make it all the way in my luggage?

Whisky

Shouldn't be a problem
I flew EDI-LGW-MCO last July and had no problems. (with 3 bottles in checked baggage)

If its a nice Single Malt wrap it up real good.^

Thanks. I'm thinking it'll be Auchentoshan 18, Oban 18, and either a Rosebank or Lagavulin (12 or 21).

All very good choices.
Try Mortlach 16 if you get a chance to

i am a wee bit partial to islay malts and would walk a thousand miles with my 2 bottles of '93 cask 15 yo lagavulin before i would risk sharing them with tsa baggage screeners.

Aren't those malts you can get in the U.S.? Go for the small distilleries. I'm still dreaming about the Poit Dubh [sp?] Islay Malt I brought back from my one trip in '96. Haven't seen it anywhere since....

i stick to my lagavulin, it reminds me of where and when i grew up, simpler times, taking a ride on a steam train, watching luggers sail into harbour with their catch, the co-op wagon coming to the village every thursday tack all shined up, horses glistening with sweat, when taking a trip on a boac 707 was all it took for me to fall in love with flying. a love i have pursued for decades til the tsa sullied it.

And now you're a weegie? Oh, how far we fall

Lagavulin is my all time fav. I've got several bottles in the states. I'll have to see about that 93 15 year. Was that a sherry cask? I've just recently developed a love for Auchentoshan. Sweeter, milder, not as smokey, but very enjoyable. I usually put a few drops of water in my Lagavulin, not in my Auchentoshan.

Get some bubble wrap. Hopefully that should insure no breakage.
