    I tried this but the delivery charges to Ireland was massive, be great if there was a way around it

    I'm taking a gamble on parcel motel as we speak. Say a prayer for me... ;) Not something I generally would do but decided to just take a chance.

    Mine now in Dublin. Should be collecting it at 7am :)

    It's a grey area and plenty of more serious items that customs are interested in.

    Duty on a 48 can pack is under €15, so hardly worth glancing at unless it became too frequent

    I don't pray myself, but I always like other people saying prayers for me. I feel like they might get further than me. :p

    I ordered two bottles of whisky, which have shipped in Amazon packaging. It appears like it has gone well, from what I can tell...

    Very smooth Scotch, not peated (which I'm not a fan of).
    So approachable for someone who usually drinks Irish.
    It's 12 year old blend of grain and malt whiskies I think, defo worth checking out at that price.

    Its the main rival to Johnnie Walker Black for the mass market yet premium blend; my partner prefers it but I prefer JWB - however its often cheaper, like now.

    Chivas Regal 12 is completely legit and good value for €30 in my book. Posted about it recently, I had a dram on a budget flight recently and was quite taken aback by how pleasant it is. I got a lot of fig and dried fruit.

    Tesco are running 6 for 50e on selected bottles of wine - some nice ones in the mix such as Faustino and Cune Rioja.
    Runs until Halloween.

    I hope I'm wrong but I doubt we're going to see this in Ireland. Also it's only a limited run according to their website.

    Like a lot of BrewDog beers, it's more a marketing gimmick than a drink. Its purpose is to keep the company mentioned in the media, and on beer forums. They don't have to produce very much to do that.

    It seems to be selling quite quickly in the UK so it's probably unlikely they'll send any to Ireland, unless it becomes a permanent fixture.

    Noticed that Greenspot and Redbreast 12 are both available on Master of Malt for £37.50...Is it worth risking Parcel Motel or Address Pal? I know they don't officially take drink but there seems to be plenty anecdotal evidence of people getting away it.

    Aldi in Drimnagh has the Ald Ipa cans. Not bad, and the gimmick gave me a smile.

    The Brewdog stuff is grand. The Aldi fake Punk IPA is a bit too sweet for my taste. Still drinking it though.

    €26 for a litre of Powers. Can’t argue with that.
