When did they switch from the tube to the presentation box?

Right at Christmastime here in PA. There was talk about putting them in a wood box and raising the price to about $180 but that didn't happen.

Thanks Ray. I know I got mine in the box last year about this time, but the recent bottle I got was in the tube.

PA is a state controlled system so who knows how many they have in the warehouses. Tubes are definitely the older ones though.

Yup and the price went up around here. I used to be able to get it for under $120 in the tube and now it's at least $180.

I bought a bottle in Feb or March of 08 in Phoenix for about $110 and it came in the presentation box. The price has jumped this year to $160-$165 here.

Macallan 25 has gone up about $200 a bottle since Christmas. The store owner showed me his cost is now above what he was selling it for in 2008.
