[JohnM]

Given the level of the dollar, this is great value.

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Link is not working for me ... what is the great deal guys???

I went in through the site and I saw 2 years for $75 ... which is circa €50 or about €6.25 an issue which is basically the similar as what Whiskey mag costs.

I presume you all know this is a quarterly .... i.e. four issues a year.

[JohnM]

$40 for two years.

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

$40 for two years.

So have I missed it

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Ooopps found it

I have now also subscribed ... they got a good haul out of us.

Thanks for the heads up

[varizoltan]

3.40 per copy, can not go wrong

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Got Mine today ... Have not really had a read yet but looks ok. 88 pages but I'd reckon at least half are adverts but still plenty of content for that. Less frivilous than what the Whisky Mag had become.

Looking forward to other peoples thought once they get theirs.

[Luke Gough]

Subscribing tonight...

[TheWhiskeyBro]

Mine arrived today too... look forward to reading it thanks John@malt advocate

Even if the deal was the same (which it isn't) I think the Malt Advocate is a better magazine. I've been getting it from an alternative good deal for a few years now and I always feel that MA has real content which is sometimes lacking from whiskymag.

I suppose it is more of an Enthusiasts Magazine than WM. I found the straying into Cocktails and Rum and the such a bit annoying and that was one of the resons that I jumped ship and the editorial was some what lax.

I think a quaterly may have more scope to concentrate on quality

[Willie JJ]

There's a cocktails regular feature in MA but there's plenty of good stuff too. And the editorial quality is definitely much higher than WM although that isn't much of a challenge.

[varizoltan]

i just got the firstone for this year

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Got mine also but have not had a chance to even open it yet. Might be a bit of light reading for the trip up to the PPS tasting

[Luke Gough]

Just received mine today as well.

See ye all on Thursday!

[TheWhiskeyBro]

Arrived today also.... Jameson RVR 2009 review inside... is it possible that there was no 2008 JRVR

[DavidH]

Stop it guys! I haven't got my first issue yet. I'm getting anxious now...

[Michael Foggarty]

I dont know where you live David but there seems to be some postal "issues" in certain Dublin areas at present, test it out by posting a letter to yourself, i did, it took 4 days for it to arrive!!!!

[DavidH]

4 days? Could you not just have called yourself on the phone?

I got my mag eventually last week. I flicked through it - nice and glossy. I'll try to do a proper review soon.

[varizoltan]

Just got the latest summer edition

[TheWhiskeyBro]

Received an e-mail for the online edition and the hardcopy arrived last week...
