It is definitely hard to please the ladies sometimes!
With all the work that I have been doing to support the local community with our digital marketing company, I tend to buy from local shops. I definitely pay a little more but that is just the profit which must be present in a business of any sort.
Ordering online can be a little bit of the wild west out there. Pays to find the respected shops that do authentic business and provide you with a person to speak with live.
I think you should order a little whisky online so it can help yyou sort out the good online vendors for you family's needs! ;)
I have told someone to bring few black label and other whisky from a military canteen , they are a treasure in these situations :)
