imoya brandy

I read about a South African brandy called Imoya in the New York Times last week. It would be a great gift for a brandy freak I know. Has anyone seen it in Seattle?

I'm not familiar with the brand, but I did a search on the Liquor Control Board's Product Search web page and came up with nothing.

Unfortunately our state-run-only liquor stores leave a good bit to be desired. Each store has a slightly different inventory but if its not listed on the website I don't think its available.

Anyone know of a decent mail-order liquor store? There's an Icelandic lichen liquor that I'd like to get another bottle of.

BevMo.com normally carries it but their web site says "currently out of stock"

I just checked SamsWine.com, they have it for $30 a bottle:

Imoya Brandy at Internet Wines & Spirits

I've ordered some hard-to-find wines from them before with success and good service.

If you ask, the State liquor store often will special order stuff. And then it starts showing up in town.

When I have asked about special orders in the past, the state store employees said that I would have to buy a full case. I was surprised to find that this was the case not just wine, but spirits, too ...and that just seems too depressing for words.

Am I misinformed?

Thanks for the advice everyone! I talked to the manager of the state liquor store in Wallingford. Yes, they take special orders, but if the product is not already available in another state store (see useful link in tighe's post) one is obligated to buy an entire case. I'm not quite that thirsty, so I think I'll try one of the internet outlets.
