camduncan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I question if it's a permanent line. My guess is they're bringing it in as a once-off via the UK (the fact it is 700ml and not 750ml gives this away). From what I understand they're allocating stock to a lot of their current markets, so it makes no sense to open here with small batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vietish Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I am sure your right Cam. But I am not going to complain. Local store had nothing, so I am going to guess its online only. So I ordered 3 and a bottle of scotch for the girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camduncan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Finished off the last couple of pours of Old Virginia 6yo last night. Mixed it with coke after a long afternoon in the garden. Moved onto some Heaven Hill Special Select (SB bottling) - a truely supurb pour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfxr Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I put in my Aldi order for Four roses, and also grabbed a 1l Makers Mark (45% !) . Grabbed a few cheap sparkling wines etc for the Mrs. All shipped for $7 postage. Very reasonable really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very reasonable really.Let us know when you get the makers, Ive always wanted to order some but was never sure if its actually the 45% juice or theyve just used the wrong research.

Vietish Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) This ^Also sat down last night and had some FR Super Premium and today some I.W Haper. The FR was amazing and the I.W is good, but not as good.I was also surfing the interwebs and found some guy selling a bottle of 1855 Wild Turkey...for 1000. I really feel like messaging him and asking him where the hell did he pull that number from or does he think the bottle was actually made in 1855!

Robbie BTAC Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Robbie, you couldn't go wrong with any of the FR (the Secretariat being the least impressive of that lineup) or the PH 6. The Willet is good, but a step down in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie BTAC Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 That bottle must come from another branch of the space-time continuum because in our reality, Wild Turkey distillery wasn't founded until 1869. So $1000 is actually a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdtheice Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 So the Willet is a no no as is the Secretariat so leaves the PH6- FR125 and 13SBLE Which one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie BTAC Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I say go with the FR125 as it's universally regarded as being awesome. You're a lucky man if you manage to get a hold of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camduncan Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 If he's prepared to mule them for you, he can bring you 2.25 liters or 3 x 750ml bottles. That's 2 x 125FR and a PH 6 isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie BTAC Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Greedy man you lol, did you hear about the scam they pulled regarding the JW walker King Edward whiskey ? Retail $599 they were selling it for $399 and Danny Murphys followed suit they apparently sold out mmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vietish Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yeah, I read that article. I was tempted to get a bottle and give it as a gift for my mothers Bday. But my budget chose FR roses instead. Dan's reckon they will beat any advertised price, so that is what you get for making that promise. I also like how you have the whiskey shop in double bay have a whinge that it cheapens the brand and how it shouldn't be allowed. Never mind that they charge close to 800 (i think) for it. I say bring it on. I am all for independent retailers, but when they gouge prices like that, I have little pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
