Thanks to Aldi's current special on this drop, Unlce Dan has beat it by $0.04.
Yay…..Broke my OzB posting cherry. I feel all tingly.

Yeah I noticed that too.. surely this is on the cusp of being illegal charging 30% more in QLD?
DM's is criminal in just about every way anyway… only price-matching Aldi in states where they 'have' to…
I agree to a point with this. I tried to purchase some Brands Laira Cab Sauv that was on special in a catalogue I was given. However that catalogue only related to SA it turned out so they wouldn't honour the price.
I tried arguing that Dan Murphy's lowest price guarantee should kick in and therefore my local Dan's should beat the price.
Computer said no…….
VIC & NSW only?
No, I just bought at this price and I am in Vic.
No discount in WA
Just finished Ardbeg 10 (highly recommended!), so absolutely perfect timing!
Ardbeg 10 over this any day - 46% vs 40%, and a cheaper price on average. If I go Laphroiag, their best standard range bottle is quarter cask @48%.
No way. Laga is life.
There is no other.
I reckon you can taste the youth on the quarter cask - agree the Ardbeg otherwise.
I agree, but to me that's the trade off - my general experience is if you want a strong hit of peat (and isn't that why people go for standard Laphroaig/Ardbeg?), then younger whiskies mostly deliver better as the phenols degrade over time/exposure to cask maturation).
I usually prefer a lagavulin over these though, as the age softens the peat a little.
Compared to aldi, it is cheaper with cashback and usage of wollies gift cards.
$97.99 in Tas. DM Dogging us.
Thanks OP. Might get a bottle of 2
I still got a couple of hundred bucks to spend on to reach my $5000 spend to get 90K bonus points from this deal here and this month is my last month to do it.
What better way to reach $5K
Dang, Ive been saving money on smokey scotch by drinking JW double black. Might have to 'invest' in a bottle of this. Cheers!
Double black tastes too artificial, if that makes any sense. The smokiness in a lophroaig is much easier and nicer to drink.
Double black tastes too artificial, if that makes any sense
yep - when I drink this I can taste the toasted/charred oak barrels, done so as to impart an extra smokiness that comes across to me as artificial.
If you are in a state that doesn't have this price, you can always get Ardbeg 10 for $72 from First Choice instead: https://www.firstchoiceliquor.com.au/Spirits/ardbeg-10yo-sin…
why not price beat at Dan's? and I'm surprised Dan didn't also drop the price for the Ardbeg aswell.
Well, I guess I'm getting this now. Ardbeg 10 is so amazing for its price imo.
Probably worth posting this as a deal OP!
just grabbed one from aldi.. damn coulda got cash rewards from dans!
Do I need 2 bottles?
An acquired taste this one…. probably gonna outlive all the other scotches i've got i reckon.
IMHO, a VERY acquired taste.
Perfect starter* Islay for those new to whisky. Hopefully, it will put you off trying any of the other better balanced options - resulting in cheaper prices for the rest of us…
Agree - Warning for anyone buying this. It's very unique. It's like making out with a chain smoking mermaid.
Public warning.
You will taste the salt, smoke and sweat of amazingness if you buy this.
Don't hold back. Do it.

Cheaper here. Works out to $62.93 per 700ml. Free delivery if spending over $200.
How much is delivery if I only purchase 1 bottle?
Why would you only want 1 bottle?
Well free delivery is when you spend $200, so buying 2 bottles won't score me free delivery.
Why would you only want 2 bottles?
you can get a bottle of lagavulin 16 at boozebud atm for $75
Lagavulin 16 y/o is one of my favourites. Any other similar recommendations at a sub-100 pricepoint?
In my opinion the Lagavulin 8 is superior to the 16. If you like Lagavulin you'd also like Caol Ila 12.
12 > 16, but 8 is a bit rough imho.
ah boo
keep checking in the next few days. Seems they only get a handful then it goes out of stock
It's back in stock FYI
Yeah but the price is back up, no? $75 is crazy, cheaper than in the UK where most whisky's cost half of what they do here
@bringbring: I think $75 is is with $25 off first order deal, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/377427.
This is targeted to only some states. $97.99 in SA
Yeah, figured we'd have no luck here in SA. It's because Aldi can't sell liquor here with our silly grog shop laws.
Surprised to hear Aldi are selling a nice scotch like this though.
This is a good one so no WA is :(
Get one from Aldi, DM lowering the price because of competition from Aldi, support Aldi.
Back to $97.99 for NSW
back to $74.95 for nsw again
Ask your local First Choice to price beat Dan Murphies, they will take another $0.05 off!
Not for QLD :(
