But the prices are much better in NH. There is a NH State liquor store just over the border on almost every road leading out of MA.

You are correct. I always pick up a bottle of Laphroaig QC when I'm in NH. I think it's about $45 when it costs $70 in Mass. But then again, Talisker 10 is the same price in NH as in Mass. Again, an oddity with Laphroaig.
