This one's for whisky lovers. Sounds like an awesome pissup drink fest for only $25. Can't imagine too many sober people at the conclusion of this event.

Dan Murphy's is having a Whisky Showcase at 6 locations across Australia on Thursday the 28th of August.

$25 gets you entry, tasting of over 40 international whiskies, food, this Glencairn Whisky Glass (valued at $9.90), and 'much more' according to their flyer.

Bookings are essential. Links below to the booking forms for different cities. Good luck!

VIC Ascot Vale
NSW Alexandria
QLD Mermaid Waters Hotel
SA St Peters
WA Hyatt Regency Perth
ACT Hyatt Hotel Canberra

    It says only 1 place left in Perth. No conditions to say "1 ticket per person" so I have to assume it's already practically gone.

      Just tried a group booking of 25 for all states and took me all the way to checkout, except for WA which reported only 1 ticket remaining. Has to be a glitch you'd think.

      • Joyoz on 24/07/2014 - 22:25

        It won't even let me get one ticket for Perth

        • tightarse on 24/07/2014 - 22:31

          Grab one of these and come on over to the east. We'll have our very own OB catchup,

      • downforce on 25/07/2014 - 15:50

        I got two tickets for Perth yesterday OK.

  • stinx2001 on 24/07/2014 - 22:10

    Booked 3 for Vic, thanks nice find.
    And just happened to be drinking a glass of The Belvenie at the same time :)

    • tightarse on 24/07/2014 - 22:14

      May see you there :)

  • shiny1 on 24/07/2014 - 22:37

    Thanks. This has got me properly excited. I lost one of my Glencairns, so this makes up for the empty spot. And I get to try a lot of whiskeys that I cannot afford!

  • GnarlyKnuckles on 24/07/2014 - 22:39

    I note that it says "… taste FROM over 40 (etc.),,,". So I'm assuming you get "a few" tickets for your $25 (maybe 5 or so?), and you get to choose "FROM" at ~40 choices, which few you want to taste, for your $25. So I think "$25 gets you entry, tasting of over 40 international whiskies…" in the original post is not correct. I'm just throwing that out there, please correct me if I'm wrong if it says otherwise on the tickets you get when you purchase the deal or whatever.

      Thought about that but figured if that's the case I just make sure I go for ones that I haven't tried or are the more rarer/expensive and I get a nice, free glass out of it and possibly learn more about scotch/whisky/whiskey.

    • grovesy15 on 24/07/2014 - 23:09

      Valid comment….not sure why you were negged. Agreed it is likely still worth it if you love your whisky, but I wouldn't expect an experience like Whisky Live for that price.

      EDIT: comment no longer in the red, rightfully so

      • GnarlyKnuckles on 24/07/2014 - 23:31
        -4

        The reason for the odd neg' is completely inexplicable sometimes Grover… I suspect that a few peeps out there (maybe some of the less-well-spoken-noobs?) misunderstand the concept of negs at first, before they get used to the site… such that if they agree that something you are pointing out is true, but a "bad thing/bad aspect of" the actual deal, they neg the comment… so in a way they are "negging" what they agree is a bad aspect of the deal, not the merit/validity of the comment itself? Maybe. Alternatively it coulda' just been some half-witted dip*&it.

      I've attended their champagne event (where the subject materials included some $300 bottles) and while the really expensive ones were limited in their sampling, if you wanted to try them you could easily. There was no limits but at the same time, i saw someone cut off as she was clearly drunk.

  • Perthian on 24/07/2014 - 22:44

      Don't shot a good single malt :) you're trying to taste it, not (just) get drunk.

      • elektron on 25/07/2014 - 12:26

        I suspect it was a tongue firmly in cheek comment.

      I live in Ascot Vale, I've never seen a knife in Ascot Vale outside my kitchen.

      If anyone is going to get pissed and wants a Ascot Vale local and long time ozbargainer for a ride home message me.

      • cloudy on 25/07/2014 - 09:51

        i migth also add,there is a tram stop right near DM in Ascot vale, tram line 59. Stop right in front of Laurel hotel. Goes to and from CBD.

        • stinx2001 on 25/07/2014 - 10:47

          And Thursday is $15 Parma night at the Laurel!

  • TOKEN8 on 25/07/2014 - 04:20

    I really hope this is good. I went to Whisky Live in Adelaide and it was a fantastic night.

    • YOTR on 25/07/2014 - 07:29

      Yes Whisky Live was tremendous. If this is even half as good, for $25 you have yourself an absolute bargain!

  • altomic on 25/07/2014 - 06:51

    Are they going to release another $10 off voucher also?

    • bajillionaire on 25/07/2014 - 09:59

      I just booked Alexandria with no problem?

      EDIT: It looks like if you put in any number of tickets other than "1" it gives you sold out. Try with just one at a time and see how you go?

      Prob an attempt to stop scalping over the early bird discount.

      • cyrax83 on 25/07/2014 - 10:06

        just keeps saying sold out for me

        edit: works in chrome. Got 2 tickets. had to book in singles. This was at 10:13am.

        An email with a link to the tickets and/or gift certificates has also been sent to your email address. If you haven't received an email within 10 minutes, please check your spam folder.

        Thank you for using TryBooking!

      • klownz on 25/07/2014 - 10:09

        Quantity field does not let you select number - the selection box is replaced by "Sold Out"

        • bajillionaire on 25/07/2014 - 10:12

          Weird. I just tried it again and it's saying sold out now, but I definitely tried successfully the first time after I read cyrax83's message. This was using Chrome.

          Maybe they're doing a set number of ticket releases over time.

      Mate, if you like it with LA Ice Cola, drink it with LA Ice Cola. It's your whisky ;)

      People get snooty about it, like there is a "correct" way to drink something. If you like the taste of it, drink it.

      • Gorodemon on 25/07/2014 - 13:33

    • cyrax83 on 25/07/2014 - 10:35

    • fedwood on 28/08/2014 - 21:22

      Agreed

      Was very good but you couldn't move around.
      Thinking back, I am not sure 2 hours of unimpeded whisky tasting would of been a good idea either though.

  • timmypete on 29/08/2014 - 09:33

    Canberra was a great night. I managed to snaffle an empty Hibiki bottle which I've removed the labels from and will make for a beautiful decanter.

    For $25 I got plenty of whiskys, food, a Glencairn glass and a decanter. A much better bargain than Whisky Live IMHO!

    • cyrax83 on 29/08/2014 - 10:38

      My favorite was the Glenlivet 18 year and the Japanese Whisky (Hibiki and Nikka From The Barrel). Tempted to pick some up at some point.

      Canadian Maple also smelt so unbelievably nice but could only have a couple of sips of that, more like dessert whisky lol.

      Did you guys taste the Talisker cocktail? That was awesome.

      I got 2 glasses coz my mate didn't want his.
