I just know that they like wine. His favorite is Ch�teau Mouton Rothschild but it's way too expensive for me.  |

| Maker's, Knob, or any other "small-batch" bourbon. Basically the only whiskeys that Koreans know are Jim, Jack, and Johnny. |

| If it were me, I'd bring some Johnny Green. I've found it in Bundang at two different locations, but the liquor stores in Seoul swear it's not available. I haven't found it here yet. |

any malt whiskey.
The only ones i've seen are Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie and the Hilton in Seoul had Ardbeg but for about 13,000 a glass. I had a dram at Christmas but that emptied the wallet! |

I am coming over in 2 weeks and want to make the most cost effective choice for bringing over some nice liquor.
Are any of these available? If so, at a decent price?
Wild Turkey (whiskey)
Bulleit (bourbon)
Don Julio (tequila)
Herradura (tequila)
Pyrat (rum)
Bombay Sapphire |

| Bring a bottle of Patron silver. It costs about 150,000 won here in Korea. |

Bombay is definitely available and it shouldn't be that expensive. Wild Turkey is available but probably pretty expensive. The others I have never seen and besides Don Julio have never heard of so I doubt they'll be available |

I live in an area with a considerable amount of Western products and amenities, but...
I've yet to think of any kind of alcohol - besides certain very specific wines or microbrews or smaller, regional brands like Van Gogh Vodka - you can't get here, except maybe certain flavors of vodka. I mean, I haven't seen pineapple vodka yet... but who really needs three dozen flavors of vodka anyway?
Then again, I'm not a big rum or scotch drinker. I'd imagine there were a lot of different kinds of scotch unavailable. Seems like good tequila can be expensive here (and they water tequila down in the bars - moreso than anywhere I've ever been back home). Whiskey seems like it can be considerably more expensive than back home (in stores - about the same in bars).

I've seen Wild Turkey, Don Julio, and Bombay Sapphire for sure - and they're pretty ubiquitous here (where I am anyway).
I'm not familiar with the other three alcohols, so I can't say off the top of my head.

I Love Cookie maybe? I've bought Captain Morgan there before. Maybe it was a fluke, though, because I honestly don't drink rum and I only look at the alcohol selection there occasionally - I bought the CM in June, and I only bought it as a gift for someone. |
