In 2012 they are celebrating Paris. Just check out the lovely bottle.

I WANT one of these!!! I don't drink alcoholic beverages but I would love, love to have the bottle - very cool!

Not sure where to get one - I stopped at the liquor dept in our grocery store today and the lady had no idea what I was talking about - guess I'll have to try a "stand alone" liquor rather than one attached to a grocery store!

Sandy, it seems they are rarer than hen's teeth. I have done some ringing around and no luck yet. I have emailed the contact on GM site but still no email from them.

I tried a liquor store yesterday that carries A LOT of French wines, champagnes, cognacs, etc....different sizes of GM but not that bottle! It was crazed in there so didn't ask...the writing on the bottle is English so it must be here somewhere!

At any rate I didn't recall GM being quite that pricey...so the gift idea I had was not going to work

...but I'd still like one for moi!

Maybe it is only available in UK? Some of the articles i read about it said it is available at Harvey Nichol in London and select other Whiskey stores?

I called a bunch of Liquor stores here and no one has it. One said they did and I took a hike over there on my lunch and they had a red Limited edition bottle and a gift set with a red stemmed "sniffter" (so it wasn't really a sniffter) but no blue Paris bottle!

I used the contact section of the web site too......nothing yet.
