    If you are thinking of buying a bottle of premium whiskey locally, buy it sooner rather than later.
    Irish Distillers, who market Jameson, Power, Paddy, Redbreast, Greenspot, Dungourney, Midleton, etc, are increasing their prices from March 10th.

    Ah crap! Why are Irish Distillers increasing there prices?

    On another note anyone know where to get a bottle of Redbreast 15yo, I've checked around and can't seem to find it anywhere.

    You can only get them in the Celtic Whiskey Shop in Ireland and I think they've run out, but they are avaiable at la Maison du Whisky in Paris and some places in Germany.

    I checked the la Maison du Whisky website and they only seem to have the 12 yo Redbreast but thanks for the suggestion mate.

    They must be out. The 15 was actually made to celebrate La Maison du Whisky's anniversary.

    Are you in Dublin? I bought loads of bottles, so if you want one, let me know.

    Good question, they're already very pricy on their premium whiskeys. Certainly when you compare them to Scotch whiskies of a similar quality.

    I think the simply answer is 'because they can'. They can do it and get away with it. Spirits are already expensive here so whats a few more Euro?

    Must be... I dunno what to look for yet, but its kinda a present for me, for my 30th birthday.

    But then again my usual thing is to buy a jameson 18 on my way through duty free. Because I live in Norway, we do actually get duty free so a bottle of that is about 72€

    Picked me up some Jameson 12yo in the Duty Free in the US, only $35. That's €25 or so. Unreal value, but dangerous.

    Yeah, I heard that. Midleton VR is already way overpriced, but it's just for the gift market anyway. People buying presents are just as likely to pay 120 as 150.

    What do you mean - just for the "gift market" - I happen to think it's an exceptional whiskey and would drink it daily if only I could afford too :D

    It is an excellent whiskey, but most of it is bought as gifts. It is worth about €60, that's all. The best ones are the newer ones, as they contain the oldest whiskey - not that this is always the barometer. ..
