Buying booze from UK. Max# allowed by Irish Customs?

TestLink

I am thinking about buying few bottles of spirits from UK supermarkets during by upcoming trip there. May I know what is the max# of bottles allowed by Irish Customs per passenger ? Is the below from google the answer?

Irish Customs allows a maximum of 1 litre of spirits per passenger arriving from the UK. This includes items like whiskey, vodka, and gin. Additionally, travelers can bring 2 liters of other alcoholic beverages with no more than 22% alcohol. This includes items like port, sherry, sparkling wine, and some liqueurs. 

Also usually which super market chain has the best offers during summer with their loyalty card - ASDA / Morrisons/ Tesco / Sainsbury's?

Thanks.

insane that it’s not possible to buy alcohol and get it delivered even if you declare in full and pay any excise in advance.

I’ve had approx 12 cans of beer from specialist off-licences seized on two occasions…

Head up to NI and you'll be fine.
