    are there still any stores within ~70 miles of boston (any direction) with good selections of JW Lees Harvest, particularly the barrel-aged versions? right now mainly looking for 2006's of port, lagavulin and sherry. also for very recent releases of the regular (non-bbl-aged), such as 2014 or later, which for whatever reason haven't shown up or perhaps i've somehow missed when they were released.

    2005 and 2007 Thomas Hardy's are also of interest. plus, has the new revived version (2014-) from interbrau ever actually been released in the US yet?

    I could easily be wrong about this but I seem to remember the Gordon's in Watertown (51 Watertown St, appropriately enough) having a bunch.

    Hmm, just called them and they said they have none left... Lol, did someone clean them out after seeing this post or did the person on the phone just not any any idea?

    Ball Sq Fine Wines (near Davis) had a good selection (marked down a couple dollars too) a few months ago. Haven't been by in a while though.
