Single malts

It's not just Whisky, it's everything.
Back when everything had to be sent from the UK, there might've been a case for a cost increase. But those day are long gone...but not the retailers mark up.
Take Wrangler Jeans, made in Vietnam or Cambodia or such. 4000kms to Australia - 8000kms to the US, still twice the US price.
It's the old - because they can

I remember seeing jeans for sale over there in 2012, that were roughly £100, that in the UK sold for £30.. Some things really were over priced. I however earned over there 2.5 times the equivalent salary that Id have got in the UK.. So i guess its swings and roundabouts some times!

Stop being reasonable, you're spoiling my fume. Anyway 70% of my pension comes from the UK, I should get single malt discount vouchers or something.

I was going to buy a Chivas Regal. With a go then?

Absolutely. Chivas Regal as your every day bottle I highly recommend.

Sorry to go on about Australian pricing but £18 ffs, that's AUD. 33.42, last week I bought it at AUD 66 and thought it was a bargin

We get ripped off every which way here!

Indeed. The Chivas 12 is a lovely, dependable, go to single malt for its price for me.

Whisky is always best, shared...gift from an uncle as he's had a good helping of my stash over the last couple of years so was feeling a little guilty, I guess.

Aw its magic stuff so it is. I first tried the bourbon in a bar about 10 years ago, and had a shot whenever I've seen that on sale but the sourmash was the first bottle I've had on my shelf. But that unblended.... wow... nectar.
I'll grab the rye next I think.

I'd forgotten you've had it before so I was all giddy, thinking you'd gotten it on my recommendation...hah.

Anyone tried the Jura Rum Cask yet? On offer at the moment and suspiciously cheap.

I’m on Port Charlotte 10 yo heavily peated

1) it’s not that heavily peated
2) it’s 50% of goodness
3) it’s pretty damn good

You gotta give it to the Bruichladich peeps. They know how to make a whisky

Nice early Christmas present from Boutique-y. The rye is a clear winner so far.
