Good price for a very highly regard single malt scotch whisky. Aged 16 years. Ticket says it's $24.00 off. Not sure how long the deal is for. Some info:

Nose: More like Lapsang Souchong tea than Lapsang Souchong! One of the smokiest noses from Islay. It's big, very, very concentrated, and redolent of iodine, sweet spices, good, mature sherry and creamy vanilla. Stunning.

Palate: Very thick and rich. A massive mouthful of malt and sherry with good fruity sweetness, but also a woonderful sweetness. Big, powerful peat and oak.

Finish: Long, spicy finish, figs, dates, peat smoke, vanilla.

Impetus for finding the deal being my reintroduction, and subsequent enjoyment, to whisky via the Johnnie Walker Black Label deal last week:

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/138341

Having tried a mix blend, I wanted to move on to a single malt. Was looking at a cheaper introduction, but stumbled across this deal. In my research this particular bottle kept appearing in recommendations as being one of the best (Oz Bargain's airzone included ;)). Seemed a bit too rich for my blood, but jumped on it when I saw this price.

Enjoy, and remember to drink it like a sir!

      Recommendation by Ron Swanson, that's turned this from a maybe purchase to a definite.

  • The Toastcutter on 05/04/2014 - 20:06

    That's a decent price for a very very good scotch.

    Doesn't seem to be on sale at liquor land express

    • Captain Howdy on 05/04/2014 - 23:24

      That's odd. Do Express prices normally deviate? Maybe try showing them what it's listed at on their site and they'll match it.

      • neilfk on 06/04/2014 - 10:07

        Asked the guy at the counter… Express stores apparently operate differently…

  • rehab on 05/04/2014 - 23:07

    Amazing scotch. If all you have tried before is johnnies then jump all over it. It tastes really smokey and rich, makes other scotch taste like metho…

  • SydBargainer on 06/04/2014 - 07:56

    I got this at Dan's last week for the same price. Just checked their website… $94. Winning.

  • Momotsuki on 06/04/2014 - 09:53

    Awesome. Just finished my bottle from the last sale at Dan's.

  • bargdebarg on 06/04/2014 - 09:54

    Excellent scotch

  • DMT-Bris on 06/04/2014 - 11:28

    Anyone know how much dan murphys price match will beat this for?

    • meanozbgnr on 06/04/2014 - 13:02

      their usual price is 94.99, if you show them this offer my guess would be $84 - $84.50

        Could you get them to price match, pay with your Amex then get the $5 statement credit back as per https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/138773 If so, this brings it down to about $80 ish. Alternately for those with a Qwibble account you could potentially get $6 back from them.

        • chiefbodge on 07/04/2014 - 00:19

          Thank you for reminding me about the amex thing! This is an awesome deal now.

  • Maxdax on 06/04/2014 - 13:02

    Just bought one! Thanks OP

  • Jabbawingo on 06/04/2014 - 23:10

    Is it just me being a snob, or do other people cringe when people call a good single malt like this a "scotch", not a whisky?

  • patinadiary on 07/04/2014 - 10:52

    got the last one Dans in Malvern. Thank you OP

  • Captain Howdy on 07/04/2014 - 11:32

    Been haing a glass or two over the past few nights - damn, is it good! Not much of a connisseur yet, but I can tell this has complexity. It's astounding how many permutations the taste and feel goes through over a gulp. Ends totally different to how it starts.

  • timmypete on 13/04/2014 - 18:20

    No Liquorlands nearby. Dans was out of stock when I went, but a nearby First Choice pricematched :)

  • 8anddrank on 30/04/2014 - 08:35

    My local liquorland didn't know anything about it and it scanned at $109. I guess I was too slow on the uptake!

    • timmypete on 30/04/2014 - 10:45

      LL specials generally last a week or two.
