Quietguy Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Apparently Jim Beam Black Label is no longer produced. It isn't available generally in off-licences (liquor stores) or supermarkets here, but a couple of whiskey specialist online sellers seem to have some remaining stock, at £27.90 (US $31) plus postage £4.95.

Ashoka Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Yeah I get it. I have been recommended Blantons and Evan Williams and Old Crow but I prefer what is easily available and doesn't break the wallet. Jim 4ROSES and Jack is very easily available here. Jack is expensive. I can find Knob Creek if I drive a bit away but others are much rarer. BTW I'm curious how much is Evan Williams over there? It's actually one of the cheapest ones over here, quite popular for mixing. 78% Corn, 12% Malted Barley, 10% Rye Quote Link to comment

If that's for 1.75L that's a bargain! Quote Link to comment

Quietguy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 As the festive season is approaching I bought a couple of bottles of Jack Daniel's flavoured bourbons, cinnamon and honey, which are on offer in my local supermarket. Miserable grey wet London weather outside. Still only a few weeks until I get back to los. 2 Quote Link to comment
JustSumGai Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I imagine either will satisfy, depending on price. The one an obvious following Fireball's success, and the other having worked nicely for Wild Turkey among others. Enjoy. I just came thru Arrivals on the 4th and it was JAMMED. I have NEVER seen so many people in there and most all Imm officer stations were manned. It moved so fast you could almost be on roller skates. I stopped picking up my bag and putting it down and just kind of kick/shuffled it ahead. Quick almost cursory check of the passport, no questions, just stamped and moved on...the scanner part was not even put into play. All that being said, I came i at 1pm where it's usually just before midnight with MANY fewer people but usually took near an hour to clear and get bags. I believe this high season will be good. At least in tourist numbers. Run your checklist, relax and be optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've read on Pattaya Addicts forum that over-70s, pregnant women and monks can go through a fast track queue on right hand side of Immigration Hall. I'm not pregnant or a monk but I am over 70 so I should get through faster. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm not pregnant Good to hear you're not preggers! Did you know that some Economy class passengers can use the Premium / Priority Lanes at Suvarnabhumi Airport . . . and get a Fast Track immigration service FOR FREE! This is something that’s rarely mentioned online. But there are large signs at the entrance to Premium / Priority Immigration areas. These state that pregnant women, infants, people with disabilities and anyone over 70 years old are among those permitted to use the lanes. No VIP pass or other documentation is required. https://bangkokairporttrain.com/fast-track-immigration-pass/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment

JustSumGai Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 it's a Scotch Whiskey blend tho. Very interesting tack they took there, veering away from the old norms. 3 Quote Link to comment
