Whisky Barrel UK

[tylergallant7]

Has anyone from Canada ordered any whisky from the whisky barrel in the UK? They said they ship to Canada and the US although it wouldn't be guaranteed. Trying to get some bottles that I possibly can't get in Canada. Thanks

If you do order, could you let us know your success? In part, I'm in the US but I also have several whisky nut friends in the Great White North.

Wont you have to pay full taxes/duties etc.? It may not matter anyway as changes are afoot. Any one in the US wanting to make a UK order best hit the websites and phones asap. And i mean ASAP.

Wow this isn't looking good for any future orders especially if it will effect most companies. Thanks for posting the article .

As the enforcement date is the 14th and it will take 2-3 days to process an order i'd say this is about it.

it will effect most companies.

It will effect all UK companies.

Odd that only the US is specified as the CAA is quoted, so it seems that only the UK to US traffic is affected thus far. No one seems to know how long it will take to sort out.

Hey! I'm just a whisky friend, not a nut! You must mean the western Canadian bunch. It will be interesting to see what Revenue Canada does in this.

Nope, Ontario...but further east. Davin is my friend and the author of the book on Canadian whiskies.

What the...

No alcohol content over 24% on non-freight aircraft flying out of the UK (just to the US?).

So no more duty free sales on flights out of the UK?

This doesn't make sense at all. How long do you think it will take for this to settle down and we figure out just what the regs are?

[bredman]

Just an update. It's Royal Mail and the CAA that decided all alcohol at 24% or above is now dangerous goods. I see TWE have resumed but with a big jump in shipping costs due to currier/freight.

It’s going to be interesting to see if the CAA will allow you to take on board whisky or any alcohol for that matter over 24% abv from the duty free shop and what about the sale of alcohol in flight, I wonder how they’re going to get their heads round that one.
