So, today at Dan Murphy's Chermside I was thrilled to find bottles of West Wind Cutlass gin ($75 reduced to $55) and Sipsmith Gin ($79 reduced to $46!) in the clearance section. It's not uncommon to find the odd beer being cleared out because it's close to best before, and of course the wine clearance buckets are common enough, but good quality spirits being reduced like that? No complaints from me!
They had heaps of bottles of some sort of Vodka reduced (don't care for it personally so lacking in specifics sorry). The only thing I can think of is that these are being cleared to make way for Christmas stock.
If there were multiple bottles of the gin's I would have posted this as a (fantastic) deal, but who knows if other stores have similar clearances going on.
My advice would be to have a gander in your local Murphy's soon and see if you can unearth similarly great deals!
i got a bottle of 700ml single malt for $25 a month ago. just one in the clearance bin.
