Hello. I am relatively new here. I've yet to make it down the city we all are gathered here to discuss, but will be within a fortnight, and suddenly I was hit with what is, for me, quite a concern. That is, namely, I love a good whiskey (Irish is preferred, but a Bourbon will suffice). A good glass at the end of a long day is something of a ritual for me. As I will be in Buenos Aires for at least a year, I was wondering if anyone could speak to the price of spirits there in general, and whiskeys in particular.
I imagine there is quite a markup, but is it too much too hope that perhaps the European whiskeys cost in somewhere in the realm of what they do in the States? (I am from the US, and so am used to paying taxes on imported spirits). Or should I stock up at those damned duty-free stores (where nothing ever seems any cheaper than it does in the US at your average liquor store)?
Would much appreciate your comments.
Also, forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but it seemed as this is not an actual discussion of food, but more about Argentine life in general this was the proper place to post.
