They'll bring quite a few cases and get it landed with duty at my place for about $25 a case total. MDG at the local liquour outlet is about $49 a case. I think it holds true for whiskey too. We must be gettin old cause they always bring too much.

My wife and I went up last fall to waterfowl hunt with friends, who asked us to bring up a bunch of Coors beer. We brought eight 30-packs in the two big coolers we brought along for ducks and geese. The Canadian customs folks only asked about guns, not alcohol, but even if they had asked the duty would only have been a few bucks. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

While this thread is about whiskey, I should mention that the reason my Alberta friends wanted so much Coors beer (aside from the fact that they'd discovered they liked it) was that a 12-pack in Alberta cost just about as a much as a 30-pack in Montana. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

Here in our "fairly small" town, they stock Jim Beam white & black, Woodford Reserve & Knob Creek. Not a great assortment, but at least choices. You may get a shock at our prices however ! JB White: CAD$28 JB Black: CAD$31 Woodford Reserve: CAD$50 Knob Creek: CAD$47 All 750ml bottles. JD Sourmash: CAD$31 At least the exchange rate is stacked in your favour ! Paul.

Easy to find Bullit Burbon, Knob Creek, etc. there, as well as pretty much anything else you want. For those interested, you can do a search on the Alberta Liquor and Gaming Commission website for any brand and it will tell you if it is available in Alberta and where. http://aglc.ca/liquor/findaliquorproduct.asp It obviously doesn't show prices.
