Dear Mr.Nick Cramer

Thank you for your inquiry for Nikka Whisky.
We, Asahi Breweries, Ltd., have received your inquiry
through the website of Nikka Whisky Distilling Co. Ltd.,
which is our subsidiary company and is only in charge of production.
Asahi is in charge of sales, and therefore, we are responding to you.

Unfortunately, Nikka Whisky product is currently not distributed in the
US.
And we have no plan to do.

We really appreciate your interest in Asahi Breweries, Ltd.

Sincerely yours,

Strange. Perhaps they're just not producing enough (yet) to cater to the
American market?

I just checked Royal Mile Whiskies, and although they stock it they
can't ship the America.

A great shame.

Oh, that's interesting. Their terms _imply_ that they can't, but I may
have misunderstood.

Thanks, I have often thought of ordering through them, and wondered if
it would reach me here in Michigan. What state are you in? How is it
packaged? Does it come US Post or UPS? How expensive is the shipping
to the US?

I've just taken a look at their terms - here's what they say:
-----
Delivery charges are calculated based on the weight of the product and the
destination address. We ship to most countries, although delivery of alcohol
related products to Canada, and alcohol and Cuban tobacco products to the
United States is prohibited. (If you choose to have an alcohol related
product delivered to an address in Canada or the USA or a Cuban tobacco
product delivered to an address in the United States we unfortunately cannot
guarantee delivery).

Hi Bill,

Contact the Celtic Whisky Shop ( http://www.celticwhiskyshop.com ) in
Ireland and see if they can help you.

The shipping may add up but I know they have japanese whiskies in
stock. Their staff are very helpful.

regards,

Ivan
