Somerfield are still selling Glenlivet 12 for £13.99. Saw some of the earlier posts - what do some people want for their money ? - I defy anyone to get a better malt at a lower price. Good grief, Bells and Whyte and Mackay are more expensive than that.

Nah you can get them for a tenner. Why is Bells the most popular blend in UK though? Crazy. Give me a Grouse any day.

Marvin,
Glenlivet 12 for a tenner (and on sale to the general public ?) - you must let us in on your secret -assume it is legal ?.

by **Marvin** » Sun Nov 26, 2006 1:56 pm

No Bells and W&M for a tenner.

My lunchtime constitutional took me a mile or so to the Co-op where I was obliged to buy a bottle of Glenlivet 12 for £18.49 (no Somerfield nearby). They have Aberlour 10 for about sixteen quid as well as Macallan 10 - Sherry and FO for £20 and Laphroiag 10 for about £18.

At least the Glenlivet is in an ordinary cardboard box and not the chav leatherette offering I saw in Asda yesterday :roll:

Actually I must buy one of those as well

Talisker 10 at £20
Laphroiag CS at £25
Glenlivet 18 at £27
HP 12 at £20
Macallan FO 10 at £20
Ardbeg 10 at £22

All prices rounded to the nearest quid so I don't appear too sad

Bought a Talisker, a couple of Laphroiag CS and a Glenlivet 18. I suppose I'll go back to stock up on a couple after looking round at the other local offerings.

Has anyone seen the vile box they've put the Glenlivet 12 in now? All it needs is a bit of Burberry check.....

You people are soooo lucky to be able to walk into a shop and just buy a bottle of Laphroaig Cask Strength without worrying about borders, international flights and grumpy customs officers.

Maybe so, but have you seen our check-out girls!

Strangely enough, the young lady in Asda was attractive, cheerful and even interested in the whisky! Obviously won't last long :shock:

Especially as the shop in question is part of the Walmart group!

Supermarkets here compete like mad with each other so most of the time there are deals to be had. I'll have to go back for some Ardbeg 10, having seen the prices elsewhere.

Makro is cheapest for HP and Old Pulteney

But Lawrence, look at what we have! 1)Long cold winters with short days, 2)short summers with mosquitos, blackflies, deerflies, horseflies and no-see-ums; 3)hockey damn near all year long (see 1); 4) the longest undefended border in the world; 5)... which allows Mr Tattieheid to come and go whenever he wants :shock:

So, being able to wander into Sainsbury's (or whoever) for a LQC just pales in comparison, does it not? :twisted:

Musky, you win in the pest department--mosquitos, blackflies, deerflies, horseflies, no-see-ums, and Mr Tattie Heid--but the Brits have you hands down for short winter days. You aren't that far north.

We have roughly 6 hrs 40mins of day light at the moment but on a miserable day like today it will feel like 4hrs as we have Heavy showers of rain or hail, with a risk of thunder.

Can you buy individual bottles, or is it by the case?

You can buy individual. I think a case is a wee bit cheaper still.

by **Deactivated Member** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:52 pm

Have a look a LFW's dealls - HP18 is around £43. Tesco are selling it at £60! Ardbeg Beist is cheaper too. £12 off a bottle of Aberfeldy 21 and Balvenie £15 around £33.
Doesn't get much better!

Apart from their habit of putting their amazing prices in bold and then the VAT inclusive prices in tiny text next to them

Loch Fyne Whiskies http://www.lwf.co.uk

They are a brilliant shop and mail order business specializing in Scotch whisky. We have been talking about some of the comments made by the owener, Richard Joynson, in another thread.

Picked up a Caol Ila 12 for £19.99 and a BNJ for £11.46 at Tescos. So many deals on at the moment we are getting spoilt for choice.

by **The Fachan** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:09 am

Its gone a little quiet on this one, is everyone stocked up for the silly season now?

Some good deals at Waitrose http://www.waitrosewine.com and free delivery too.

Abelour A'bunadh £25
Caol Ila 18 yo £32
Talisker 18 yo £34

stand out for me.

A'bunadh at £25 and Laphroaig 10 yo cask strength for £25 at Tesco are the best "bang for your buck" malts available in the UK right now IMHO.

by **les taylor** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 7:43 pm

Asda Glenkinchie 10 £18.49
Highland Park 12 £21.49
Plus quite a few others.

by **Onefortheditch** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 8:33 pm

It means you can buy 2 bottles of Ardbeg Still Young for just under £50. Sounds good to me.

Does anyone remember how much Ardbeg Very Young cost when it was in the shops? :?:

seen it in a shop in glasgow, dont ask me street name or that as it all weegieland to me. although it was central and one of those "ethnic minority" shops. (couldnt think of a correct way to describe them there)

by **vitara7** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 12:16 am

seen glenlivet 12yo in the new packaging for £12.99 a bottle £10 off a bottle in key stores.

by **dram_time** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 4:17 pm

Was in Tesco, Inverness today. Lots of deals, but none that were better than you could find online.. Black Bottle (now in a box) at 10.99 and I.M. Isle of Skye the same, being about the best, Jura was cheap, but then it should be.

Dt.

Didn't find 'The Whisky Shop' Inverness, but only had an hour in the centre, Where abouts is it??

Cheers
