Everclear Prices

[skapunk1]

I have a friend of mine going to the states next week. I was wondering how much I should give him, and the size(s) it comes in. Cheers.

Oh, and my apologies, i'd like to know where the easiest place is to get it....

 

[drwatson]

I Know they have it in Indiana, but to be honest with you I dont know if they will allow it back on the plane. May have to ship it back.

 

[skapunk1]

He's driving to Pennsylvania.....

 

[dochudson]

I doubt that he will be able to get it on the plane.

 

[skapunk1]

Cheers everybody. I let him know the scoop, the easiest thing is probably to ask his relative he's visiting to get a permit now, buy it next week and drive it back home.......if not I can deal with some super strong rum, lol

Sadly Everclear is a no-go in PA...it sucks having to go to Jersey or Delaware to get it. Depending where he's driving to/from he might be able to get it in a neighboring state.

According to a wikipedia page about Everclear, you can only buy 190 proof Everclear in the following states: California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. It can be purchased in Ohio but under severe restrictions.

If you're in Alberta, you can buy Everclear by the bottle in most liquor stores. I use it to make limoncello and orancello in addition to pipe maintenance. I'm assuming your friend is driving from either Ontario or Quebec and I don't know about liquor laws there. Saskatchewan doesn't allow it, unfortunately.

I have bought it in Ohio and Michigan at the liquor store with no problems.

Don't know about the 190 proof version but I can find it here in Connecticut.

Here in Illinois I can go 10 miles up the road and buy it by the fifth or in a pint sized bottle. I buy the smaller pint bottles and can do salt and alcohol treatments on the nastiest of pipes, plus stem and shank scrubbing, on 20 some odd pipes and still have a quarter of a bottle left over, and I can buy it for about $7.50 a bottle.

I live in Pennsylvania and the only way to purchase Everclear is with a doctor's prescription. However, one can buy it in Delaware with no problems in any size. I bought a 1.75 litre bottle there for about $30 a year ago.

Ahem, in Tennessee we don't bother with Everclear. We just go next door to our neighbor's and pick up a bottle of Tenn-o-sees finest.

I've looked for it repeatedly in Michigan, but have never seen it in a store. But I'm also quite happy now with the Bacardi 151, which even the larger grocery stores stock.
I have to say, though, that I'm completely confused about its availability. One poster said:

In the United States, it is illegal to sell 190-proof Everclear in California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.

A second poster said almost the exact opposite:

According to a wikipedia page about Everclear, you can only buy 190 proof Everclear in the following states: California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. It can be purchased in Ohio but under severe restrictions.

Presumably, if it's illegal to sell it in those states, it would also be illegal to buy it in those states. . .
So. . . ?

Everclear at 190 proof is available here in Connecticut with no restrictions other than being of legal age. Another brand commonly found here is Graves, also at 190 proof. Most liquor stores here sell it.

I am pretty sure you meant those are the states it is illegal in. I have never had any problem buying it in any of the states I have lived in, including now in Colorado.

You must have bought the 151 proof then.
I have a bottle for cleaning my pipes, and boy is that some scary stuff. I know some kids at the college I went to use to put it in the punch and cover the flavor with kool-aid and such. Two glasses would easily knock these stick figure gals on their rear and three would put even a big guy down.
