UNITARY Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Would be interested to know how much the Blantons cost you each with shipping and duties if you were charged?It would be in my top 5!ScottI paid about $92 AUD each for them, they sent via post and customs didn't pick up on it (Collectable Glass) so no duties. :grin: Otherwise approx another $35 a bottle if they do.

spy247 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Guys I'm heading over to Brisbane this Thursday 15th Dec, arriving at about 2pm. I'm staying at Oaks on Felix. Got Thursday arvo / night free. Any recommendations on where a Bourbon addict can get a drink ? Or anyone free for a catch up ? Sorry for the late notice. Wife is very good at booking up my time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spy247 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi Stones, Yeah had a great time in Brisbane. People are pretty laid back just like in Perth. Got out quite a bit, to all hours. Most of the places served the usual assortment of Bourbons and Spiros kept my hotel room well supplied. I did stumble across one "Bourbon bar". Are you familar with it ? Picture supplied.

camduncan Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Picked up my 3rd bottle of Woodford Reserve Seasoned Oak Finish on the weekend along with my first ever bottle of Virginia Gentlemen.I really enjoy the Woodford, so will be making these bottles last. Haven't tried VG ever, so am looking forward to opening this one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep skipping past it on the shelf to look for more known brands but am curious to know what you thought?Cam I can report that this is not a bad drop at all. 3 years old @ 37 %.A bit young though. The nose is mainly mint and menthol. A big mouthfull reveals some vanilla but the body is very light and watery. Finish is short as expected.I initially mixed it with dry, but ended up drinking it straight by the glass full. I paid $39.99 for it. I prefer the Cougar at this price point.

spy247 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Stones that place looked a bit dodgy to me. They'd probably try and sell me Southern Comfort as Bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathevocation Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm going overseas this month - I'm pretty sure I saw a bottle of JD SS at duty free is around $55. One of the real (and only bargins) of duty free. Think I'll use my allowance on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the real (and only bargins) of duty free. Think I'll use my allowance on it.Definitely only one of the few worth getting at Duty Free, not sure which airport you score yours from, but Melbourne its $69 per bottle.Very good stuff, I've had a few bottles (still have another 4 unopened with one more coming in a week) and out of the last couple I have had there has been a clear difference in taste between each bottle. Its good been able to send employees overseas with instructions to pick up a bottle or two at Duty Free on the way back :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathevocation Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Melb too - $69 is still good value. I'm going to Singapore, so unless there's a nice whisky or whiskey available there, I think my allowance (which will be my wife's allowance as well) will be going to JD on the way back in.
