Different airports do it differently. Some would give you the bottle in a sealed bag at the gate before you board. Some would just give that to you at cashier also in a sealed bag.
Some airports carry unique liquor that could be hard to find elsewhere. Value-wise, most of times are not cheaper.
I was flying back home last week and the DFS in HKG carries the new Hennessy XXO. Sales lady said it was just released few weeks ago and HKG is one of the very few place at the moment you can buy it and also lowest price.
Did not believe it and it was selling for around USD 550. Came home doing more researches and regretting not getting the bottle.
