    It's being sold for under 30 euro. And, in my opinion, it's fantastic whiskey.

    At that price, I don't think there's a better Irish whiskey.

    Nice, sometimes O' Brien's do some really great special offers.

    It's supposed to be the same constituents as the standard Powers, but a lot older.

    I'll surely be buying a bottle.

    Also, the Celtic Whiskey Shop have a 14-year-old Bushmills single-cask (bourbon matured) on sale at the moment. Have not tasted it myself.

    And, this is a bit off the point, but the Highland Park 21 you get in duty free is being changed to a 40% abv one. The old one is supposed to be brilliant, so it's worth getting while it's still there if you're flying out of the country to somewhere with a good selection.

    Is this the Bushmills you're talking about? As it looks so so so so tempting.

    I'll send some over if you like. What state are you in? Some states are very sticky when it comes to receiving spirits.

    I presume you're of legal drinking age...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 370 ✭✭Fallen Buckshot


    the State of South Carolina and yes im of drinking age (30 in oct) how many teens would drink powers 12 i ask you ! :P

    You're not near Charlseton, are you? A friend of a friend runs a pub there called Madra Rua there. An Irish pub, needless to say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 370 ✭✭Fallen Buckshot

    I may just start my whiskey collection with a bottle of it. Or two. See how the first one goes, and hide the second!
