For comparison, it's $480 at Dan Murphy's, Vintage Cellars and gooddrop.com.au.
I'd be very surprised if anyone who comes to ozbargain would be interested in 400 dollar scotch. But i guess you never know, there's no way for anyone to find your site or store though as you just posted a picture and not a link.
Some people would find more value in a $400 bottle of great scotch than a $400 graphics card. Just saying.
I just meant if you're spending that much on scotch you probably don't care enough about saving ~10% off retail. The average price for scotch is what? $80? a better comparison would be, say a $2000 graphics card with sale price of $1800
i think you should be stripped of your membership for a comment like that….
I'm interested, I just can't afford it
a bargain is a bargain…just because someone has expensive tastes doesn't mean they are happy to pay anything for it, and they can love a bargain just as much as a tightarse: the two things are not mutually exclusive.
there are a number of people on here (myself included) that are interested in ~$1000 headphones/earphones. others that are into fancy B&O sound systems. and i bet that there ARE people interested in a $400 bottle of scotch.
i personally am not into $400 scotch…but find me a bargain on a Château d'Yquem sauternes (which can be upwards of $400 for a HALF bottle), and i'm interested!
(ps. i'm not saying that this is or isn't a bargain, or a good scotch…blend vs single malt is another debate entirely!)
I bet this would taste real good mixed with home brand cola.
diet home brand cola.
Better yet - Pepsi next, hope I haven't missed the last of the crates at woolies!
LA Ice is where its at.
ONLY $399.99
how much is this normally? why is this a bargain?
$480 is the cheapest I can find elsewhere
great find.. anyone ordered from here?
if I get this right…
base price = $247
duty = 5% of 247 + 0.7 * 71.67 = 12.35 + 50.17 = $62.52
total = (247+ 62.52)* 1.1 gst = $340.47
pretty ok deal for the item, free shipping and its local
Choosing this over a single malt is a different story….
Not sure you did get it right (but a long time since I calculated these things).
you appear to have missed the GST on freight (of 30 quid).
the duty rate on litres of alcohol is $76.37/litre for whisky
litres of alcohol is based on the amount of alcohol in the bottle, not the amount of liquid - in this case 40% x 700ml.
Which (assuming the exporter deducts the UK VAT) all added up, it comes to a duty cleared price of ~$360 (if I am correct).
An even better deal. :)
About $40 saving compared to Dr Dans: http://danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_378089/royal-salute-one-…
Personal preference really if people see this as a bargain.
I'd much rather spend $400 bucks on top quality single malt's than I would one one bottle of blended scotch with no age.
I am a bit confused.
How does $480 (Dan's price) - $400 (the OP's price) = "about" $40?
Thanks OP. picked up a couple for the kids
but not a bargain.
Hey REP, Any bargains for glenfiddich 19???

It's ~$275 delivered from the thewhiskeyexchange.com from England, but Customs will probably charge duties for you to collect.
