Irish whiskey on the rise!

[ThomasH]

I was looking online and in a few stores today and noticed that a couple of my favorite Irish whiskeys took 4.00-6.00 price jumps on Feb. 1st. Tullamore Dew 12yr. and Jameson 12 both went up considerably. In Pa., the Tullamore 12 has gone up a total of 8.00 in the last year or so. What used to be 27.99 on sale is now 35.99 on sale. I'm glad I bought a case at the lower sale price. It looks like I'll be buying Jameson 12 at duty free from now on!

I am just over the Ohio line. Where do you buy duty free?

Thanks,

I believe this rise is coming from Irish Distillers - a very greedy company. Over here, they're putting Midleton Very Rare up €30.

And from the rising vat-prices the EEC ordered his members and perhaps the higher grainprice on the worldmarket.We keep paying the price.
