Had anyone had any experience carrying a bottle on a flight with them, that was not purchased at duty free? I just picked up a bottle of Lagavulin 16 intended as a gift for someone overseas so it's new and sealed and in it's box. I didn't see it at duty free the last time I traveled. Does anyone definitively know whether I'll run into any issues having this in my checked luggage? I found the following on a TSA site:
Checked Baggage
Any amount of alcohol greater than 3.4 ounces must be packed in checked baggage.
Alcoholic beverages with more than 70% alcohol content (140 proof), including 95% grain alcohol and 150 proof rum, cannot be packed in checked luggage.
Travelers may take up to five liters of alcohol with alcohol content between 24% and 70% per person as checked luggage if it’s packaged in a sealable bottle or flask.
Alcoholic beverages with less than 24% alcohol content are not subject to hazardous materials regulations.

This will be on an international flight, if it makes a difference.
