I got this deal on Wednesday and I saw that it went on until June 16th

Then this evening, I was in the Tesco offie section and plenty of black label bottles left - but no SEL
Price is gone back up to €48

I thought maybe be it was just a store specific thing
But when I checked the Tesco 15mins up the road same thing back to €48

Can they do this and why ?

The price has returned to €48.49 on their website now too.

Nah, contract law pretty clear on it. Display of price doors not constitute a legal offer, therefore not bound to honour of actually a mistake.

As for false advertising, not really either. They advertised it for 26e and sold it for that. They've obviously simply decided to end the offer early, which they're perfectly entitled to do so.

Bushmills 16 for 64 euro in O'Briens, 10 quid cheaper than most other places. Crested ten down to 26 quid also. was 23 in tesco last week but still not a bad deal

Got a bottle of Black Barrel for 40 in Tesco. With an Aldi voucher from the paper I got 10 off 50 - I did have other stuff to buy so I'll consider 80% of that to be off the whiskey so it was 32.

Worth a punt at that cost... only on til the end of the weekend and it was 38 a few days ago.

Absolut 70cl is €19.99 at O' Briens.

€28+ in Tesco and other stores.

The Asia Market on Drury St. has 6 bottles of Chang beer (from Thailand) for €5. This may be stretching the definition of "good drink" a bit, however, the stuff is legendary for causing changovers.

O'Briens have Guinness FES at 2.09, just a regular price, not a special offer.

Compared to 2.50-2.60 in Tesco/ DS.

O'Briens in Athlone have 24 cans (330 ml) of Blacks Kinsale Pale for €40...

Loads. I thought they'd be walking out the door at that price but they said they hadn't started shifting yet.

Teelings Single Malt €44.99 in O'Briens Galway, i'd imagine it's nationwide too.

This is probably a question for another thread more - but is it worth that? If it is, I'll grab a bottle. I had a sample of the grain in the Airport a fair while ago (believe it was the younger brother that served me, at that) and found it pretty rough.

Personally I wouldnt spend my money on it. Many better options for the same money or for a tenner more tons of infinitely better options.

less money: bushmills, black bush, standard jameson ( i know they are not single malt but they are all nicer whiskeys).

same money - connemara peated, jameson black barrel, bushmills 10

for 10 quid more: Arran 14 malt for a start but there are perhaps 50+ single malts in the 55 quid category in the Celtic whiskey shop that are 10 times the whiskey that Teeling is.
Green spot is down to 55 quid in Obriens this month and is just outstanding.

Thats a few super common whiskeys that i have tried, im sure a seasoned whiskey drinker could list tons more.

I got a present of the Teeling Single Malt a few months ago & really liked it, as did the couple of people I shared it with. It's not a smooth whiskey exactly but I certainly didn't find it overly rough & had no problem drinking & enjoying it. That said, I don't think I'd have paid €50 for it myself. Even at €45 it's probably still overpriced.

Anyone seen any good deals on slabs of lager in Galway? Need drink for electric picnic

Revisionist Dark IPA - €2

Fuller's Honey Dew - €1.40

Schneider Weisse Tap 7 - €1.63

Spotted a couple of Wychwood beers on special @ €2.29 in Aldi this evening.

Got a few King goblin and one each of the Hobgoblin Gold and DrThirstys to try. Really like the regular hobgoblin so looking forward to the Kinggoblin may go back in the morning to clear the shop of them!

Great price on the King Goblin, I'm sure I saw that for over €4 a bottle last year.

Anyway: I was in Lidl today, and they have their own brand Black Lager and Festbier there for €1.49 each. (They appear to be from the same brewery as their Perlenbacher, if the boxes are any guide.

I'm trying the Black Lager first, since it's a type with which I'm not familiar. It's not exactly black, more like maroon. I thought it would be more heavily hopped, but I'm tasting more molasses than chocolate in this one. Not as interesting as I was hoping, but still OK.
