What happened to Regency

[elcaro]

It started to be harder to get. Now the big C has stopped selling it, many small shops stopped selling it and my local upped the price from like 260 to 340?

This is in ChiangRai.

 

I cannot find any information on the distillery! 

 

Is my favourite spirit disappearing from this planet? Should I stockpile the last bottles that I find?

 

How is the regency stockpile looking where you live?

[CharlieH]

If I knew what "Regency" is/was I might be able to find out ?

Getting harder to come by here in Pattaya area since early summer. Usually convenience store (all 8 in walking distance) is out of stock for a couple weeks at a time, when they do get it some people buy 6 bottles at a time so they are soon out of stock again. The price at 7/11 is 243 up from 240; liquor store is up from 280 to 320 a bottle (pint), they do have some ordinarily. 

I hardly drink it but the GF does; I think mostly so she gets face from not  drinking Som Sang. But she enjoys Som Sang a couple days after the Regency is gone.

yes, she is a gfe not a GFE.  ????

[GreasyFingers]

Will keep track of this thread. There is still plenty up here in the mum & pop shops, have not checked at 7/11. An alternative is Meridian, a bit cheaper but still drinkable.

[Orton Rd]

Try the Chinese ones, Golf club or Rotell XO both in Big C. Regency is over priced and not that great IOM, Cavalier is better and a lot cheaper

[ricklev]

Yes, pretty weird.  For the last year or so my close by 7-11 only occasionally has it in stock and then only a few bottles that sell out quickly.  I am curious to know why.

You're living in Thailand and don't know what Regency is? You never visit any bars? 

[Peter Denis]

On the other hand, judging from the amount of ads they post on the TV Forum, Regency for Expats is not hard to come by. ????

No ! I dont drink and dont frequent bars and never have.

[cmsally]

If its out there I'll find it! Need it for my brandy sauce to go with the Xmas pudding! Matter of life and death!

[Ireland32]

I thought the thread was going to be about the school! maybe I have lived here too long? ????

[Thingamabob]

[GordonP]
