Geez the price of this!
The Ron Swanson effect?

Bloody hell, that has doubled in price from a few years ago!!

This is currently on special at Dan's (if a member for $99.95)

That is a very good price, usual discounts are about $109. Time to buy a couple more

Gee some cracking prices on Single Malts at BWS at the moment. Plus 22% Shopback.
The Balvenie 12 $78
Aberlour 12 $77
Glenlivet 15 $113
Lagavulin 16 $133

I did notice in Liquourland last week that a number of Single Malts were at significant discount.
Are we seeing the end of the crazy whisky inflation?

Nope. Local store BNE seems not to have those prices.

Is it any good?
I tried the 17 and still have half left and would buy again at the old price of under $200. Now Google price is $499. Wow.

Yes the 25 is worth every dollar of the $499. Ive been accumulating a war chest of the 17 over last 6 months (have to know where to look to not get skinned on price). They are out there for mid $200's - $300.

The OP 15 hits way above their price point. Thats the best buy for your money imo. It has panels on their 18. I think Nicks have it for about $130 on clearance atm.

 

[jasonking]

My mistake, I actually have the OP21 instead of 17. Bought for$195 from smwhisky 2017. The 17yo is actually Craigellachie. I actually like it.
I am eyeing the OP12 gift set from whisky company for $86. However the low abv 40% is a let down.

Found out about the markdowns at my local BWS in Carindale shopping centre QLD.
Turns out they are shutting the shop as they only make profit during December.
I went in to collect the 2 x Balvenie for $78 and left with:
Grandfather Port for $64
Tenjaku Whisky for $61
Glenfiddich 15 for $98

Still many bottles left. Reach out if you want some (BNE based). I might return to the shop...



My haul:

 

[Mr_Orange]

I just snagged a Balvenie 12yo Doublewood for click and collect. I'll see what else is in there when I pick it up.

 

[Catweazle]

Anyone tried that Sheep Dog peanut butter whiskey liqueur?

Yes, I know. Sounds weird. Strangely enough, I like it.

I love Ardbeg and while I haven't heard of that particular whisky, at that price I'd buy it speculatively! Thanks for the heads-up ... hopefully it'll still be there when I fly in April.

Checked online and it is also available at Heinemann SYD for $135, so could be an option for those going through SYD.
