I think I paid like 24 Canadian dollars for it when I was in Vancouver in April, which was only like $20 US with the conversion since their dollar sucks right now. And I was able to put it in my luggage to avoid hefty shipping costs. Obviously not everyone can cross the border to do that but if it's on the shelves in Canada for $24, why is it so high at the Whiskey Exchange? Maybe there's a Canadian website that has a better base cost and cheaper shipping.

More importantly, if Canada and Europe are getting 80 proof (as well as 151 and spiced) without issue, what's the hold up with the US? If Hamilton doesn't want to distribute it anymore cuz it's a conflict with his own products, why doesn't another company just pick it up?

I may very well be in error, but I thought Hamilton formulated his product specifically because LH decided to pull the plug on US distribution. Did I miss something?
