I love Scotch. Scotchy Scotch Scotch.

Gooddrop (online retailer) have some whiskys available at prices much lower than anywhere else I can find. Online orders only, $9 delivery fee or free for orders over $300.

Decent aged single malts are quite expensive in Australia, but some specific bottles here are significantly cheaper than Dan Murphy’s prices, which I hold as the general benchmark for the cheapest easily available prices on alcohol. Where the bottles are not available at DM’s, I’ve provided the price for the bottle available at Nick’s.

Update 2PM 29/04/16: It appears some of the whiskys are being ozbargained…
2nd update 12PM 30/04/16 to strikethrough a couple more that seem to be sold out
3rd update 9PM 04/05/16 thanks to ivlutt noticing that Laphroaig Quarter Cask and Glenfarclas 12 year old back in stock

The 3 best deals in my opinion are:
Laphroaig 18YO Single Malt Scotch Whisky $127.99 $179.99 at DM’s / $150.00 at Nick’s - $52 cheaper than DM’s and this is one the best Laphroaig I have tried.
Highland Park 18YO Single Malt Scotch Whisky $146.99 $179.99 at DM’s – This is what I was looking for when I came across these prices. This is my favourite whisky.
Glenfarclas 15YO Single Malt Scotch Whisky $94.99 $149.99 at DM’s - $55 off DM’s price is great.

Other good savings (not exhaustive):

I hope you find yourself enjoying a dram soon!

(I do not have any affiliation with this company, other than being a past customer. I just really like whisky.)

      @zzyss: my comment was an attempted "humorous" observation of previous deals where other retailers had listed a great price and then DM would price beat by 5cents, so that they could continue to claim they are the cheapest.
      
      Then the minute the Other Retailer returns the price to it's "regular" price then DM ups their price to 5cents below that.

      In my experience, DM's often proactive price beat big players but rarely beat small players.
      
      There is a local bottle-o that often has specials cheaper than DM. they only advertise in the local papers. When I walk into DM's i see every article from Newscorp or SMH on a corkboard beaten but never the ones from the local paper.
      
      I have on occasions showed the local paper article and claimed a 5c price beat, but always reactive not proactive.

      @biggweilo: For the sake of saving 5 cents, why would you not just go to the local bottleshop that has the deal and actually support the community? Small businesses need the support of the locals and when they do specials cheaper than DM's you still choose not to go to them? I could understand if DMs was near by and the bottleshop was far away, but you did say it is your LOCAL bottleshop.

      When I said local i was referring to my local area and advertised in my local paper. I try to support the bottle shop, however, I can walk to DM's and need to drive to the bottle shop a couple of suburbs away. I'm not going to DM's to save 5c, it is just more convenient sometimes.
    - worthy1 on 03/05/2016 - 10:15
      
      I find the DM price beating bashing hilarious. Many places match or beat prices, Bunnings, Officeworks, The Good Guys etc. People love saying they went to Officeworks and had them price match something and they get + votes. When Dan actively tries to provide the lowest prices around they get crucified.
      
      Go to where its convenient for you, if its Dans then go, if its local then go. Its great to know that there are multiple places to get a bargain to save some money. I bet these 'support local' people often walk out of the local place and into one with a cheaper price, if you don't then you prob don't need OzBargain….

    It all started from their rave reviews by Jim Murray, the self-styled whisky 'connoisseur'. The craze for aged Japanese whisky is irrational but then it's caused prices for aged Scottish single malts to drop across the board which is great.
    - Poimandres on 29/04/2016 - 11:23
      
      I actually came back from a Japan trip recently. Whisky is very well priced there (local or imported) but aged Japanese whisky is nowhere to be found.
      
      I did pick up a bottle of Nikka Yoichi single malt non-aged duty free on the way out and it's bloody good!
    - EarlyBird on 29/04/2016 - 11:37
      
      @Poimandres:
      
      I was in Japan a few weeks ago for the hanami. They have some crazy prices for Scotch, like Talisker 10yo for 3350yen, Glenmorangie 12yo for 3780yen and Bowmore 12yo for 3680yen. All $40-$45.
  - MuadDib on 29/04/2016 - 11:23
    
    is age statement a technical term? i was just about to buy a jap whisky from dans that i need on sunday for a gift but dan only delivers. no stock in store.
    bought one in stock around christmas and me and my mate were surprised. it was our first jap whisky. edit: i think the site has been ozbargained.
    - Poimandres on 29/04/2016 - 11:28
      
      It should be listed on the bottle. 12 year, 15 year, 18 year etc. Whisky tends to get nicer (and more expensive!) the longer you age it. But, because there are serious stock shortages most of the Japanese whisky manufacturers have stopped producing aged bottles and put whisky's on the market without age statements.
      
      Some people are pretty snobbish about this stuff, but you can get some damn fine whisky with no age statement.

It never ceases to amaze me the power of Ozbargain.

100+ votes is easily translated to a few thousand clicks (in this case 2000)

Each one of those clicks represents someone who is very much interested in potentially buying some good whiskey for cheap.

The people behind the website would be like "ummm wtf just happened? We have sold out of x y and z out of nowhere…" and probably a good portion of the time not realise that its due to them being a deal on Oz.

  ….. and the prices directly are 5-10% cheaper than eBay. For a short time when they first went up on eBay, they undercut their site prices but that did not last for long.

This was posted 8 years 7 months 24 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
