First pick up at the hotel. Uh... |
Pappy's first stop from the UK was in our Austria Office |
Two days later, next email update reads:
Subject: Customs
Body: One thought. If I need it I might ask you to email the receipt, should have thought about that earlier. Do you have it? If so have it handy, if I need it it will be in 30-40 min
30 minutes later: Through. No worries. No hassle. All 4 Pappys are in the USA. No customs fees.
The elder Pappy relaxin' by the pool in Florida... |
Boss safely drops Pappy off for me! |
And the moral of the story is: have your Pappy couriered by a non-bourbon drinker. Seriously, I offered my boss the 10 year in appreciation for his trouble but he said it would just be wasted on him!
There are also some really good stories of getting your booze into the US at Whiskey Advocate, (an excellent site by the way). My favorite story was the 'holy water for the Church of Malt"
