Not 100% sure it's a bargain but it seems ok to me - at Royal Mile Whiskies they've a 25yo CS NCF Ardmore for £125. Now that's not cheap but you get a free bottle of Ardmore traditional cask, which I really really like.

O'Brians do Blackbush for 19.99

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

I See Lidl are getting in an unspecified 18 year old Single Malt Speyside for Christmas for an excellent €29.99

Sticking with Lidl I also notice that their Dundalgan blended Irish is now aged as an 8yo for €19.99 I'll let other people reckon for themselves as to whether that is a bargain or not.

[cathach]

Aldi currently have an 'Irish Single Malt' @ 24.99

They also have blended Irish whiskey @ 19.99

Dunnes have Jameson @ 17.00

Also for oenophiles Marks and Spencer have 25% off any 6 bottles of wine/champagne.

I was on a Stena line ferry last week, from Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead and surprisingly seen Tullamore Heritage, which i believed was only available at the Heritage center

anyway it was a bargain for £26= 31euro, which is 50 euros at the heritage centre in Tullamore and as i was told, there is no signs of new stock and there is not many bottles left

[JohnM]

Maybe it's been mentioned already, but the Bowmore 25 is the best price you'll get it anywhere at the Celtic Whiskey Shop. Got a bottle today.

[cathach]

O'Briens have Black Bush @ E19.99

Sadly no other deals to be seen in Galway

Prices are pretty high here in British Columbia. The Bushmills Black Bush - my personal favourite - is $36.99CAD = 27.60euros. Still, it is a cheap price to pay even over here for such a wonderful whiskey. We don't get a lot of discounts on spirits here, two or three dollars on occasion. The only exception, is at one liquor store downtown, they discounted the Bushmills 16 year by $14.00 the other day. Needless to say, I picked one up.
Still, not complaining. We are able, at least, to get a substaintial number of the various whiskies over here. Also, the Bowmore 12 year old Scotch single malt at $60.00 is really pretty good for the quality. Funny thing, I was offered a Bowmore 18 year old on New Years at a local Italian restaurant, and really didn't like it as much as the 12 year old. I am finding a lot lately, travelling down the Avenue of Whiskies, that I am generally preferring the younger ones.
cheers,
Carl

Some excellent deals there Bredman Pity I don't live in the UK

[DavidH]

Pity I don't live in the UK

We are still paying for the War of Independence

[John]

Nothing to do with Independance or where you live guys.

I placed an order with a supplier in the UK in the last hour; the cost of the order - taking delivery and currency conversion into account, was still CHEAPER than if I had physically walked into a well known retailer in Dublin Incidentally, I also priced the same order with a supplier on the Continent and the UK suplier was still cheaper (European supplier was charging €37.50 for delivery). Just so we're clear: the most expensive was the local supplier, then the European supplier and then the UK supplier. I am as patriotic as the next guy and will always try to give the business to local suppliers wherever possible but some people (& companies) will never learn - no matter what the circumstances!!

[varizoltan]

I just purchased the last bottle of Bushmills 1608 400th anniversary that my local bottle shop had and quite possibly the last one in the state of Washington for $39.99 US

[DavidH]

Sounds like a good price, 2highcal. And welcome to the forum!
