Amazon and other sites are saying it's not available at this time. Anyone bought it here lately?

Bill,

You might want to check with BevMo.

I think they have stores in Phoenix and Peoria.

Spec's

You can buy it from just about any liquor store in my part of Texas.

I've purchased it at the Total Wine store in Claymount, DE.

I used to buy it at AJ's when I lived in Phoenix.

The liquor stores here in S. Colorado carry it.

I've found it in Liquor stores in the Denver area as well.

I buy it here in Lafayette at several liquor stores. My girls love the stuff. I keep a bottle everywhere-- home, duck camp, farm house.

Good question Bill.

For years I have looked for it up here in Canada. You can usually find the Amarula that is the creamed version..... sorta like Bailey's. Have never been able to find the clear liqueur type version.

I know a store in MD right off I-83 that carries it.

I buy it at my local grocery store in New Orleans.

Bill,

It's pretty common here in LV.

Mark

Thanks everyone. I don't drink, but I need a bottle for a gift my hunting partner's 80th birthday. I'll try some of the places mentioned.

I've bought both at local liquor stores in Alberta yum yum

For a gift add an elephant head bottle topper. On ebay for $20.

Stevensville MT local liquor store
$ 19.00

Shcnucks

If your local store does not carry it, they probably can order it for you providing you order enough to make it worthwhile.
Remember liquor laws and inventory varies from state to state.

Bill, let me know if you can't find any and I will send you a bottle. I have one in a decorative canister I picked up in Jo-Burg.

Bush recipe - Make half a cup of strong filtered coffee and add a couple of large table spoons of powdered milk and a tablespoon of sugar. Cool in fridge and add to one cup of cheap brandy.

Warning this can hurt your head

Thanks, JA.

Fairgame: Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stay with my iced tea.

Idaho sells it and all of their state liquor dispensary outlets. About $18.50 a bottle.

On the shelf at any decent liquor store in SoCal. Not hard to find. Saw it last at Vendome on Robertson in BH. BevMo always has it too. Good stuff!

Bill:
Is it ok if I borrow your thread?

I used to really like Pernod with 7up. Locals used to have it in the late 70's.
Now no one even knows what it is.
In Germany the guys called it mixed: "Paranoid and water or 7".

Yellow thick colored, tastes like black licorice.
Anyone? I'd order some IF I could find a source in the US.

Thanks much, and thank you Bill.

A black licorice taste might come from Fernet Branca.

is this what you're looking for George ?

Back when I was a drinking man (I had a liver transplant in 2008), Maker's Mark was my favorite whiskey. I used to mix it on ice, with Pepsi (not Coke) and add a generous dash of Angostura Bitters.

That, plus a good book on hunting, sitting in a comfortable chair in front of a roaring fireplace, made a nice way to spend a cold, snowy Colorado evening.

Alas, those days are over for me.

Do you want me to put you down?

Yellow, tastes like licorice is Galliano.

Yep. Prolly 100 Anise based yellow liquors out there. Galliano had gold flakes floating in the bottle, back in the day.

Bill,

Try COSTCO....they had it in Hawaii!! We are enjoying it out here cruising on Regent toooooo... Makes you SMART and CALMS the SEAS!
Cheers,

Jan:

Yep, that's the one!

I seldom drink any longer but, sure would enjoy one now and then IF I could find what I like.

As a kid in the '50's when we had a cold the dr. would give us a 'cough syrup' bottle of nasty stuff. When I got to Germany the guys passed a big flat green bottle of Jaegermeifster around. I recognized that first taste to be the same stuff. Got to liking it in small amounts. Now I try to keep a bottle of that handy. Refill the little one I keep by the bed for a light sip. Sure clears the sinus's!

I thank everyone for sharing, I will take this short list to the local booze outlet and see if they have any of them.

'nother one I got to liking too much. Tequila/7. When I went back to trucking Tequila was my CB handle. Then later I started a truck parts and heavy equipment air filter route business and named it:
"Tequila's EnterpriZes". I went with the Z as a trade mark and because I was forced into the business suddenly and needed a name right quick. Prize's is gift in the dictionary. Gift in German means "poison" though!! Ask me how I learned that one!! he he!

Thanks guys, and Bill again too.

Amarula does not support hunting so plenty people in Sa does not support them anymore.....

Bit like Land Rover?

Spent a profitable hour at the Amarula facility in Phalaborwa on the north edge of Kruger Park March 7 with PH Eddie O'Reilly of Jan Dumon's operation. The facility buys in maroela fruit that people collect as it drops from the trees, mashes it and ships it off in tankers to the factory in Stellenbosch that actually ferments and bottles.

Of interest is that Amarula resumed making the clear liquer, styled Amarula Gold that was their original product, a product that did not sell unil they changed it to the cream liquer so many love. The briefing and DVD we saw asserted that 12 million liters of Amarula sell each year, second largest liquer seller in the world.

Calvert Woodley in DC carries it for $21/bottle or buy a case at $215...

Regards, Tim

Glad I found this thread. Picked up a bottle today and it's good. Wife likes it in her coffee and I'm having some straight from the bottle.

Here in Las Vegas we have Lee's Liquor Discounts, Total Wine and Spirits, etc. They are big mega booze stores with many stores and outlets, and I'm sure that they would carry that stuff. I don't drink, so I'm just supposing they would. Do you have anything similar in Arizona, Bill? If so, check them out. If not, maybe you can call one of the above and see if it could be shipped to you.

Thanks, all.

A BevMo store in a mall near my home in Tucson had it. I don't drink, and didn't realize there were big box chain stores for liquor.
