The one with the strap on neck 'Aged 36 years' definitely when
on sale first did not
come in a box. I saw a full shelf of
them in Shannon Duty Free @ the time (July 1989)
& I
bought one for £47. Back through there two/three years later and
it was now in
a box & now costed £250 as I recall. I
asked a staff member why the big increase and
apparently
the original price was a 'mistake'. Richard Harris the well
known Limerick Actor
( & Drinker) had been through
there that day (as he was a regular through Shannon) and
thought it very amusing that a bottle of Irish would cost
£250 ----- Lucky he's not around now
