Anything good in Dublin Duty Free?

[DavidH]

I have a chance of a vicarious purchase at Dublin Duty Free this week (ie I'm not going but I know someone who is). Has anybody spotted anything notable and particularly good value recently? Would the new Tullamore Single Malt be there, perhaps?

[varizoltan]

yes Dave,
tullamore 10 yrs is there for 34.99 if i remember right,(i was rushing home friday) i got 2 bottles, but other than that, connemara sherry finish is 60 euros, they had midleton vr2008 for 130 (they called it reduced price)
other than cooley have good promotion and some special price, nothing really good value or cheaper than irish retail prices

What about the Jameson Signature Reserve? That's supposed to be only available in the airport, isn't it?

Not cheap though ... can't remember how much could be over 50Euro for a litre and it seems you can only get it cheap in irish air retail if travelling duty free or travelling back through some where like Germany or Holland.

[JohnM]

It's not my favourite Jameson either. Tastes a bit watery to me, or something.

Not a bad idea. I liked it well enough when I tried a sample, though I know what you mean by "watery". It's €35 for one litre, duty free.

[JohnM]

Worth it for that price, I think. Sure you probably wouldn't get a litre of standard Jameson for that.

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Yes for €35 at Duty free it is good value but I think it shoots up to €59 if you can o nly buy it via travel retail.

[JohnM]

I'd wouldn't be too keen for €59. That's what I thought it was in the airport.

Bushmills used to do single casks for duty free too, but I'm not sure if they still do.

[DavidH]

€53 travel retail, to be precise. More than I would spend still. Here is the Dublin Duty Free shop online. They don't show all their bottles here (why?).

[JohnM]

There seems to be a Jameson Signature Reserve and a Jameson Signature Reserve 1780 there. Are they different?

[varizoltan]

REDBREAST 15,

70 euro

Did you see these side by side in the airport?

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

I have a Jameson Signature Reserve and it has the 1780 on the neck and on the Label. Can see how it may be called Jameson Signature Reserve 1780.

But if there is a newer version without the 1780 on it .... ????

1 Litre Tullamore Black 43 for 39.95

Redbreast 15 (09batch) fot 70 as i said last week
i got a few Writers Tears for 35

[TheWhiskeyBro]

Thanks the RB15 fits the bill, have the 2010 batch open atm so will be able to compare the 2009 to see if there is any difference....

[John]

Surely those aren't Duty Free prices Zoltan?? Those are mostly dearer than the high-street retail prices

[varizoltan]

yes John, they are duty paid, and i think they are way over priced
