Expires: 01 Aug 2003 11:53 PDT Question ID: 224359 |
At one time in Holland, I had a drink which included the green-banana flavored liqueur, Pisang Ambon. Living in the United States, I'm unable to procure this alcohol, but I would like to. Please provide me a reputable (non-dubious) merchant through whom I can purchase a bottle of Pisang Ambon. Online merchant preferred, but I will accept an offline merchant as well. |

Hi grammatoncleric, After searching, I was hesitant to answer because it's not all good news. I was able to find it for sale from one place though, and since I did finish the necessary research, it IS your definitive answer. THE BAD NEWS: I found Pisang Ambon for you, but unfortunately it is not available from an "authorized distributor" in the US at this time. There are still leads you can follow, but calling the Netherlands phone number I furnished below for you, is not an option for me. :-( THE GOOD NEWS: Lycos Shopping http://shopping.lycos.co.uk/3548enSP0129.html Because of the lack of a US dealer, I'd try these folks. It's only about $20 bucks or so. REFERENCE: Webtender http://www.webtender.com/db/ingred/425 ..."in June 2000, Pisang Ambon was no longer available in the United States. Bols should be able to answer questions on availability (see their website for addresses)..." It's manufactured by Lucas Bols in the Netherlands, you can contact them to ask about availability: Lucas Bols http://www.bols.nl/ Kon. Distilleerderijen Erven Lucas Bols - "BOLS" LUCAS BOLSSTRAAT 7 NL-2152 CZ NIEUW-VENNEP NETHERLANDS PHONE NUMBERS: +31 2526 61414 +31 2526 75853 Bols Liqueurs http://www.bolsliqueurs.com/ This web site looks VERY COOL!! To try and find a reputable distributor nearest you, I used this link: [ http://www.bols.nl/ ] and first selected ENGLISH VERSION at the top left. From there, I clicked on ABOUT BOLS - then selected DISTRIBUTORS. Assuming you are following along: When you are at that page, "Use the pulldown menu to quickly select your country." I selected U.S.A. and the link below was the lone result. This WAS the distributor, I'd call them anyway because they may be able to tell you who to ask for (english speaking) at BOLS to get it shipped to you. Name: William Grant & Sons Inc. Address: 130, Fieldcrest Avenue Edison, New Jersey 08337 Country: U.S.A. Here is the William Grant & Sons Inc. Web Site: http://www.grantusa.com/ No phone number at the web site but here is their contact page: http://www.grantusa.com/contact.htm Then, I selected CANADA, thinking it could be shipped from a Canadian distributor, barring customs problems (?): Name: Maxxium Canada Address: The Boiler House 1179 King Street West Toronto, Ontario M6K 3C5 Country: Canada PHONE NUMBERS: 416 535 7899 416 535 7745 FAX I DID CALL these folks, they don't distribute it anymore. I included it here in case you had the same idea. COOL LINKS I RAN ACROSS: Pisang Ambon http://www.pisangambon.com/ Subscribe to a Mailing List: http://www.mygreenguide.com/ You have piqued my curiousity about Pisang Ambon. My mouth is watering after reading some of those recipes that include it at the Webtenders Web Site, linked at the top of this answer. If I can be of any further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask for a clarification of my Answer, before rating me, ok? Sincerely, ~~Cynthia Keywords used at Google: "Pisang Ambon" distributor (and followed the leads from there) "Pisang Ambon" purchase "Pisang Ambon" buy |

I have nothing to add to Cynthia's amazingly thorough answer, but I wanted to say that I think "grammatoncleric" is one of the coolest screen names I've seen on Google Answers. Hope I don't sound like a sense offender in saying that. ;-) ~pinkfreud |

Pinkfreud, Thank you very much for your nice compliments! You were merely talking about my name, though. You should know that I've read your work and am very impressed with you as a Researcher. Through analysis of hundreds of posted Answers, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of well-answered questions by Pinkfreud-ga in any given day is a statistically predictable element. Her Answer-kata treats Google Answers as a total weapon , each fluid posting representing a maximum profit zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of ***clowns while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, the answering efficiency of other Researchers will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethally profitable proficiency makes Pinkfreud, the master of the Answer-kata, an Researcher not to be taken lightly. ;) - The Grammaton Cleric |

I'm going to add another comment to my old (expired) question... I think I found a way to acquire Pisang Ambon in the USA: http://www.liquors.me.uk/ These people ship to the United States and carry Pisang Ambon. The shipping for two bottles is the same as the price of the alcohol, but that's to be expected. I *just* placed an order...We'll see if the order gets fulfilled. :) The Grammaton Cleric |

Two months later, after I was informed in August that my shipment had broken, I received the package yesterday in the mail with two bottles of Pisang Ambon. Yay! I have yet to try it. I ordered through the link I found posted in the previous comment. Thanks, all! :) -The Grammaton Cleric |
