    Bushmills 16 for 64 euro in O'Briens, 10 quid cheaper than most other places. Crested ten down to 26 quid also. was 23 in tesco last week but still not a bad deal

    They also have the Bushmills 21 year old for €100, next nearest price is €135 i think. Its worth it though, great whiskey for anyone that wants to put that kinda money down for a bottle.

    Got a bottle of Black Barrel for 40 in Tesco. With an Aldi voucher from the paper I got 10 off 50 - I did have other stuff to buy so I'll consider 80% of that to be off the whiskey so it was 32.

    Worth a punt at that cost... only on til the end of the weekend and it was 38 a few days ago.

    Jim Beam 70cl for €20 in Supervalu, Pavillions, Swords

    I'm unsure if the same deal applies to all Supervalu stores

    My local Tesco (Douglas, cork) has a few drinks 4 for 9. Youngs double chocolate stout is one, it's a personal favourite bit they don't have it in stock. Annoying.

    Le fevre cider and wells banana bread beer are on it too

    The Asia Market on Drury St. has 6 bottles of Chang beer (from Thailand) for €5. This may be stretching the definition of "good drink" a bit, however, the stuff is legendary for causing changovers. :p

    O'Briens have Guinness FES at 2.09, just a regular price, not a special offer.

    Compared to 2.50-2.60 in Tesco/ DS.

    Loads. I thought they'd be walking out the door at that price but they said they hadn't started shifting yet.

    This is probably a question for another thread more - but is it worth that? If it is, I'll grab a bottle. I had a sample of the grain in the Airport a fair while ago (believe it was the younger brother that served me, at that) and found it pretty rough.

    It usually costs €50+ so this is a somewhat discounted price. It can be a bit 'rough', as you say, but some people like that. In my opinion it's all about the flavour at the end of the day.

    Personally I wouldnt spend my money on it. Many better options for the same money or for a tenner more tons of infinitely better options.

    less money: bushmills, black bush, standard jameson ( i know they are not single malt but they are all nicer whiskeys).

    same money - connemara peated, jameson black barrel, bushmills 10

    for 10 quid more: Arran 14 malt for a start but there are perhaps 50+ single malts in the 55 quid category in the Celtic whiskey shop that are 10 times the whiskey that Teeling is.
    Green spot is down to 55 quid in Obriens this month and is just outstanding.

    Thats a few super common whiskeys that i have tried, im sure a seasoned whiskey drinker could list tons more.

    That's what I wanted to hear (or something similarly detailed on the opposing side, I guess). There is a bit of hype around it which is probably driving the price.

    I got a present of the Teeling Single Malt a few months ago & really liked it, as did the couple of people I shared it with. It's not a smooth whiskey exactly but I certainly didn't find it overly rough & had no problem drinking & enjoying it. That said, I don't think I'd have paid €50 for it myself. Even at €45 it's probably still overpriced.

    Thanks again for that, picked up 18 of them for €30. Serious value :)

    Dont think they had many left after that...

    Disappointed it wasn't discounted in Tesco Mullingar but Scheiderweiss Tap 7 at €1.63 a bottle more than made up for it!
