    Will someone ever taste the feckin stuff!

    Sorry - in the office now and have to drive home, plus I'm fairly sure there is something in the rules about not drinking during office hours unless you bring enough for everyone.

    I'll open it later after the kids have gone to bed (which means my Bushmills Distillery Reserve drops further down the queue)

    Picked up a 'few' bottles in finglas Aldi. I had to ask them to get it out from the back but I wasn't the only one looking for it.
    .

    I called into the same store about 3.30pm and I had to ask for it as well. The staff member I asked said she would look out the back .Then she came out with a box saying it was the last box in there I got 2 bottles she left the open box on a pallet of other drink it looked like they were preparing for a stock take in the shop.
    So if you don't see any bottles ask the staff they dot seem to be putting it on display.

    I was passing through Greystones half an hour ago and had a quick look in Aldi, two bottles left on the shelf so I picked one up, I never thought to ask if that was their entire stock or not though...but if anybody is in the area you may get lucky and get the last one!

    Lots of fruit on the nose. Lots of spice. Very smooth. Definitely get the pear drops. Finish is sweeter with banana. Will try another with a drop of water now. As good a bottle as I’ve had for €50. Pity it’s a school night.

    There is going to be a big Q outside ALDI that day. It opens early but wont sell booze until 10.30 so people will grab and have to wait to buy til 10.30. That is if U are lucky enough to get your mitts on one of the likely 3/6/12 or X number (small ) per store. I reckon Bushmills.

    Oh yes,the good old nanny state liquor laws :mad::(

    I picked up the last bottle in Aldi Parnell Street last night. The guy in front of me at the till had the 2nd last one in his hand.

    Jack Teeling had been in earlier to get himself a couple of bottles

    Not sure what I was expecting, but it's definitely not without it's charm. Nice addition to the shelf!

    No Cork stores got stock and they couldn't confirm if they would..
    Bit disappointing.

    None in Kilkenny either. Manager just said it didn't arrive from the warehouse.

    I've sent out scouts to check in Killarney.

    I'd say these could just appear randomly between now and Christmas.

    Tralee didn't get it, same delivery...so I'd guess nothing in Killarney....I have someone putting a bottle aside for me in Tralee when they land

    Don't suppose there's any of this left anywhere ? Preferably city centre or near Dublin 15. ?

    Thanks

    I called to Aldi in Childers Road Limerick this morning. There was a sign on a shelf for them but no stock. When I enquired I was told that no stock arrived but they took my name and number and I would go on a waiting list. There was quite a bit of interest apparently.

    Five bottles on shelf in Sligo today at 2pm.

    I bought three of them, one for me, two for friends.

    Lady behind the till said they were flying out the door.
