This is a most serious problem, and unfortunately it is not confined to
Virginia. Already last year I noticed an alarming shortage of the 1-liter
bottles at the various airport shops I visit, and the gentleman at Whisky
World at Heathrow explained that they did not bottle enough in that size,  and
hence the tax-free shops are short. Now, however, I am having trouble finding
it even in the 750 ml size in the regular liquor stores in the Netherlands.
Given the aging requirements of Lagavullin, this potentially means no supplies
for several years--eeekk!!!
