Lowest its been in a while, a lot more smoother and refined taste compared to the Glenfiddich 12-Year Old Single Malt.
Non-Smokey taste
Glenfiddich Grana Reserve 21YO Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL $225 ($0 C&C/Delivered) - https://www.firstchoiceliquor.com.au/spirits/glenfiddich-21y…
cheers I was happy at 150 too, but was stoked to see it even lower
Was in Tokyo a few months back.
This was about $90 in Liquor Mountain.
Out taxes on alcohol are crazy.
I agree. My brother is currently working in London and everytime I ask him how much a drink is, it's basically our "bargain" price in GBP. For example, Glenlivet 12 standard price is between £28-32 GBP. That is pretty much out special price here…
Gran Reserva 21 with the code is down to $225 awesome price…cant get it delivered to my area doh
How is it taste wise compared to the 12 and 18?
Similar
Can’t compare to the gasoline that is the 12YO. 18YO unsure.
same price at DM
Thanks. Initially bought the 18yo for $135, then saw your comment, so called up and cancelled that order and got this 21yo instead for $225.
I'll add it to the deal
Oh man that’s $225 I didn’t expect to spend today lol
The Macallan 12y double Cask for 121,5$ is also great price
cheaper at DM
$118.75 @ DM
Coles Online cheaper than DM, $110 after SAVEMORE code. @JinTheGod
As someone who doesn't drink much whisky, is there a "correct" way to drink these? Straight, on the rocks or is it sacrilegious to water it down with water? Or just personal preference?
Straight
Usually on the rocks for me or add water if it is too strong, but you should try every way you like to find out what you like most.
It's both sacreligeous and also however you want. Generally could put a tiny bit of water in a cask strength to taste it a bit better.
But if you're paying for it, drink it however you want
Neat with a couple drops of water is how i usually drink single malts. You could use those ice stones if you wanted it cold. I would never add ice or water/any other mixers. Thats what blended whiskys are for
Try it straight. not for you? Then, put a rock. not for you? Then, add a dash of water. not for you? send it to me.
Good deal.
Just a reminder as well, Dan Murphy's will price match this if you don't have a first choice nearby.
@Child - Many Dan’s won’t price match if there’s not a First Choice Liquor store within 10km of their store that also has stock. Many Dan’s won’t price match other retailers prices with the use of online discount codes either… My local Dan’s does for me though because after it had been rejected by staff a couple of times I went in and had a conversation with the manager, and presented a valid argument for accepting them under their policy based on my interpretation of their wording.
I just did it online through their live chat and placed it as a click & collect order. They agreed to match it as soon as I sent the link and told them about the discount code, even before they even knew where I was picking it up from, so might be better to do it that way so you don't have to deal with managers and stuff.
Their price match rules are different for online compared to in store. I only had to deal with the manager once, and after that he instructed his staff to accept the codes. I have never had a problem since. There is a Dan’s store close to where I live, I much prefer going there in person than placing an online order, and dealing with the staff at my local than their online chat staff to price match who I’m not familiar with.
I bought a bottle of this Glenfiddich 18 year in February last year for around this price. I remember thinking it was a bit average, I might give it second chance though and pick up another bottle at this price.
Wondering whats one you rate higher in same sort ot bracket?
Aberlour A'bunadh if you’re referring to price bracket.
Nice thats a good drop too, i guess i dont consider them like for like, eg you dont always want cask strength (at least fornme)
@Osiris: I agree that cask strength isn’t always what you want to drink, however for a $200 bottle of single malt scotch the Glenfiddich 18 should be higher than 40% ABV.
I agree with this, it’s no glenlivet 18 which I remember being wow’d by…but still this is a pretty good price…
Used to be a single malt man, now i only go for multymalts.
Tried to buy 4 as coupons stacked with "mycoles discount" and "Save 10" and came down to $128 a bottle and clicked purchase and then said coupons no longer applicable :/
solid, running low on the fiddich. meanwhile, clowns paying this & 2-3x for non-age japanese nonsense.
I got very excited for a minute when I miss-read the title as Glenlivet 18. hopefully it will go on a good sale one day.
We are paying way too much in Australia.
@yamahamoto - Indeed we do, and the consistent tax hikes on alcohol I think is getting to the point of ridiculousness that the Government will soon have to justify it.
I’m happy to vote Albo out at the next election for this reason alone. And the Libs the election after that if they too continue doing the same thing and don’t get the message.
I was happy when i grabbed this for $150 few weeks back, good find OP
