These bottles can be bought on eBay for $140 - $450 USD.
Well......I'm sitting in an airport on my way to Thailand. I glanced through the Duty Free and found what I have been searching for.
I grabbed 2 of them and headed for the register. The lady asked for my boarding pass. She looked at it and said: "You're going to Tokyo?" I told her I had a layover in Tokyo then off to Bangkok and so forth.
Lady: "You no buy."
Me: "Why not?"
Lady: "You go Customs in Tokyo then security again. Bottle more than 3 ounces. They take from you."
Me: "Fuck!"
Ain't that about a bitch? I finally find this damn bottle when I can buy it but it will be confiscated because some dumb fuckers tried to blow up planes with liquid explosives.
Terrorists are keeping me from enjoying my Jack Daniel's........Bastards.

You should have asked for a box and stamps and mailed them back home from the airport.
