My arrival date is coming up very soon and I've been thinking really hard about this question. What 2 bottles of alcohol should I bring for my homesick stash? I'm thinking 2 bottles of good scotch...probably macallans.


What 2 bottles would you bring? Surprised

Actually, I think legally you are only allowed to bring a liter of liquor into the country duty free.

As for what, I always like to browse and look for something new. Liquor is definately expenisve here in Korea but at least you should be able to get most things here.

1 bottle scotch

1 bottle Vanilla Absolut

It depends upon your port of departure.

Some places might be 1 liter, some 1.5, some 2 etc.

From Canada I usually bring a bottle of Canadian Club and a bottle of Kahlua.

But customs never checks bags, so I'd carry more- I had a friend bring 8 bottles of wine from OZ.

Anyway, I'd bring:

DiSaronno Amaretto
Hazelnut liquer (can't remember the name- it's Italian, though)

... cuz I haven't seen either here in the ROK.......
