I tried every day from thursday-monday in my local and was told it sold out when it arrived on Sunday afternoon, was in an hour before they arrived which was real disappointing

Picked one up in my local this evening.

Tesco have a litre of Powers for 25 euro. You wont do better than that for the price. Alternatively Powers 3 swallows for 30euro, Jameson Black Barrel for 25 or Jameson Crested for 25 is a good buy too.

Roe & Co @ €25 in Tesco is a steal too.

Wheres the Black Barrel for 25? Best I've seen is 30. Planned to get a bottle or 2 this weekend so would appreciate if you can point me in the right direction. Ty

Hi folks

Looking for a nice whiskey nothing to expensive its not a gift just something to have In the house over the Christmas.

Would Jameson stil be first choice? Anyone try other jamson flavours that they would recommend?
Open to other options aswell .

Thanks in advance

Roe and Co at €25 is almost unbeatable value for what you want it for imo. It looks great, bottle is a little different and its bloody gorgeous. Any house you go to in Ireland has Jameson. Roe and co would be a little different if nothing else

30 in Tesco , definitely

Just cracked open my first guinness 470ml. To me it tastes identical with a slightly smaller head. If I was a regular guinness drinker I'd be delighted that these are so cheap.

KinnegadKid · 03-12-2020 10:36pm

Bought roe& co for 25 in my local Tesco tonight ...black barrel is defo 30 euro

dobman88 · 03-12-2020 10:38pm

Yeah I got the roe and co today. Saw the black barrel for 30 but need to wait until the weekend to use the Tesco voucher for the week.

If that poster could say where they got it for 25 I'd just stock up on a few bottles. Its normally 50+ and I happily pay that for it, it's so good

In my professional opinion, Roe & Co is incredibly smooth and caramely and moreish

As an irregular Guinness drinker, how would you know the difference?

I wouldn’t drink it again if it was free

karlyk1 · 03-12-2020 10:43pm

Have never tasted Roe & Co, but would I be right in saying it has a slightly vanilla/caramel aftertaste - similar to Red Breast? May invest in a few bottles if so. Also, Powers 1litre was on the Dunnes 'app' at 25, but was 30 in store when I went to buy - just in case anyone's looking for it

Because I've drank enough Guinness over the years to know. Seriously, it's the same stuff with a slightly smaller head. People are looking for problems.

Ah balls. My apologies. I never spotted that they mentioned Tesco at the start of the post. I saw black barrel at 25 and had the blinkers on :pac:

Still ridiculously good value at 30. I've a bottle and a half on the shelf but can never have enough sure.

I have to laugh at the last line.

The problem is literally a visual one, kind of hard to avoid it

I saw a few 500ml bottles of hophouse in tesco last night for €3.20 a bottle. Cant see much demand for that when they have the larger bottles in their 4 for 10 deal.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Reading all the negativity I really was expecting something different when I tried it but exactly the same. €20 for 24 happy days!!

Maybe give their customer service team a shout they might have more stock coming in?

I think I saw that in catalogue, the festive drop is actually a 1 litre bottle of Ardfallen but no price listed. The regular price is €18.60 for 70cl.

Got the six for €29 yesterday.

BTW, it'd be a lot better if you removed the irrelevant images from your quote!

And/or checked the Lidl website.

If someone goes to the bother of posting offers and people wanna know the time from- just go to that supermarket’s website FFS

I was double checking my receipt from Tesco for the 25% off 6 bottles and it looked like the discount is applied to the wine RRP? The discount I got was more than 25% off the price I paid for the wine so if a wine is reduced from €16 to €12 it's based on the €16.

Edit - ignore the above, post below explains it.
