Is it the Zollamt in Hallbergmoos?
I know them well from 6 years of collecting whisky from them.

The way prices have been going up and down like a yoyo in big cities in Germany and the world would make it seem like hubris to try and predict ROI with any degree of accuracy. It's not important…

@jeremytwo is offline, so I will ask the question:"Do they have decent boobs?"
