Bargain Buys (whiskey, whiskey books, etc)

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Single Pot Still tasting book is a nice little read and pictures. Going down well with a mug of tea and it's FREE

Are you the whiskey expert

Again I find some of the valuations high & low and even the strategy curious.

Midleton VR 1990 400-600

Yet they have catalogued 6 bottles from 1984-1989 at 2000-2500. Would the seller have been not served better if they sold all separately???

Some nice bottles there though.

[mawhinney]

Alas, I am not that whiskey expert, nor do I know who she is.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Here's another auction coming up next Wednesday. No interesting Irish one for me but I always like to see what price thing are making. There are a few nice Scotches to be had.

Hopefully there'll be a few new bargain buys before Lent is over.

This Bargain Buys thread is becoming another Auction Watch thread. Perhaps we could drag it back to covering the latest bargains in Dunnes and keep all the auction stuff in the Collectors Corner forum?

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Agreed, Guys try to keep auction stuff in the other sub forum.

Tesco and many other outlets seem to have Bushmills Regular at the knock down price of €15.

Who said Bushmills are not pushing in Ireland

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

I came across this Bottle of Jack Daniels for €100636.00...
I'm assuming it's a new government directive to discourage binge drinking?

It's part of our new trade deal with China. We get the use of their cyber division to "adjust" spirit prices all over the web in favour of our domestic industry.

I see they've a sale on the Jack now, It's down to €99,000. That's a €637 saving.
Here's the link.

I'll take responsibly for that comment. I'd go further to say it may be Tesco pushing it as opposed to Diageo.

I got a bottle of Blackbush and a Jameson for €20 each. Cheers for the post

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Connemara (nas) €29.99 in Celtic Whiskey Shop and Drinkstore.ie (That's €6 off usual price)

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Jameson Select Reserve, small batch in Supervalu for €39.99
They told me if I waited a week it'll be €34.99 for the bank holiday weekend.

[cathach]

Bushmills 1608 is 40gbp on thewhiskyexchange at present.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Jameson 12 Special Reserve for €30 a bottle in Tesco's. I bought 3 so I won't be seen for weeks.

[Good Whiskey Hunting]

Tyrconnell 5 star for €27 per bottle. I picked of the few bottle I found and forwarded on my good fortune.

I see they sell the current bottle for €32 so I'm very happy.

I only wish it was available to more.

Keep your eyes peeled and see if any bargains can be found.

[IainB]

Possible a Kitchen in London could be a bargain buy, judgeing by some the the posts that have mysteriously appeared on the forum this morning.

[mawhinney]

Tesco: Currently 2 bottles of whiskey for €40. These could be 2 one-litre bottles of Power's, for example; or 2 Black Bush (70 cl); or mix n match. Need I say more.

[DavidH]

I was going to report Paddy for €20 / 1L in Dunnes but Ken has me beat above. Buy 2L of Powers for €40 instead. Amazing price.

What do you do with it once you buy it?

At that price you could bathe in it, or rub it into the horses. But I'd be happy to have a glass of either in my hand, to while away an evening.

[Joel1802]

Oooo. Didn't notice the Powers bit. That might cause me to call in sick...

ok, not strictly a bargain alert but a way of saving a few cent on whiskey purchases ...

Essentially, create an account on FatCheese, then via the link above navigate to The Whisky Exchange website or The Drink Shop and then purchase whatever takes your fancy, and 5% of the bill excluding postage gets credited back to your FatCheese account for you to withdraw or donate or whatever you want ....

I have used Fatcheese for other things and have received cashback without problems .....

Irish Ferries (Ulysses and Jonathan Swift) on the Dublin - Holyhead route have Midleton Very Rare 2012 at €98.69.

[rathbeggan]

Has anyone any idea what the Aldi Glen Marnoch 24 year old is? Only €39.99 but was released last Thursday so may be all gone, going to check tomorrow.

[DavidH]

Bushmills 1608, the Anniversary stuff, will be available at Aldi on December 6th. €60.

I don't think that will last long.

[TheWhiskeyBro]

The Glen Marnoch is a 24yo Speyside distilled in 1988, 40% abv, bought one of two that were remaining on the shelf in Sandyford.

The distillery concerned is a closely guarded secret, speculation is that it might be a Dalmore, wishful thinking suggest a Glenfarclas.

Reviews mixed, lowdown suggests that it is inoffensive and worth a go!
