Please indulge my ignorance here, but I thought that this group might have some wisdom to impart:
A not-for-profit that I work with recently auctioned off a very expensive bottle of whiskey, and of course, the winner is in NJ, not CA. How does one ship, legally and safely, such an item across the country? Does it require any special licensing or using a special carrier, or can one simply send it by a common carrier with a crapload of packing for physical security and a bunch of insurance to cover any potential loss?
I don't even drink any more, and never did drink anything that cost more than a buck a gulp, so I just don't know much about this kind of thing. (I don't have to explain why I thought you lot might, do I?).
Thanks in advance (let the cracks start cracklin'!),
Mike Armstrong

You may have a real problem, NJ is a ridiculously overregulated state and this includes their alcohol laws. I do not believe you can ship a bottle into NJ by mail. (By mail this includes FEDEX, UPS, etc)
Could you mail it without revealing the contents incredibly well packed yes, if you get caught you will get fined etc.
Your best legal bet is to contact a liqour distributor in NJ to see if they will receive it and conduct delivery as to move liqour commercially in NJ requires a NJ issued license to transport

What is it? Black Bowmore? Seriously, I'm not sure I'd trust any of the major carriers. You should consider uShip, so it's "hand carried" all the way.

I was tempted to delete this post. Yet, whiskey is close enough to bourbon to keep me interested.
Hope it makes it.
I can tell you this...UPS delivered a fine bottle of Stone Imperial Russian Stout to my daughter in NYC without issue....then a local bike courier ran the box over on her doorstep. The puddle was waiting for her when she arrived home...bike tracks down the center of the box....:-(

For what it's worth I periodically receive expensive single cask via UPS. Having said that local laws also matter as do Federal. It is technically illegal to import Scotch, rather like a Rolex,...a threat to US insecurity I gather.  Jeremy
