Junes Dan Murphy member offer email arrived with the usual 6 packs of beer for $10.
Looking through the other offers a Scotch Whisky popped up $199 discount on normal price and at least a hundred cheaper than what I see other stores have it.
No it isn't cheap at $1200 but a heap cheaper than normal ( and they also have a code MGIFT and get a free mystery gift - seems like it's a random 50ml liqueur).
The Singleton 38 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is rich, mellow and elegant, with all the confidence of age. A wonderfully fresh and interesting nose with a complex interplay of fresh acidity and cereal sweetness; like a fine old wine with flavours beyond fruit, you feel strangely drawn to its subtleties and splendid dry, absorbing finish.
Hot and racy on the nose (unusual for a whisky of this advanced age), this is one you can tell from the outset will benefit from a little water. Aromas of orange peel and a little sea salt muddle through, however. With lots of acidity, the body is equally punchy and quite sharp, citrus peel backed by modest granary notes. The finish is quite drying. Give it water and plenty of it and things start to open up nicely. The nose takes on an almost pretty floral character, and the sweetness on the palate really starts to develop, offering coconut and banana notes amid the spice-dusted grains. That finish remains on the dry side, though it’s less intense more accessible with a little water to smooth things out.
I haven't tried this, I usually prefer my Balvenie https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_800505/the-balvenie… when I have a Scotch but seeing The Singleton is $44000 cheaper it's probably worth a try.

I just purchased it today and went straight home to open it. Unfortunately, my clumsy old hands were trembling due to the sheer excitement of holding it and the bottle just slipped out of my hand and hit the floor. Luckily my NAB card has a complimentary insurance and it covers accidental breakage. The excess i only $ 100 and I think it's with Chubb Insurance so I am crossing my fingers now and hope they pay me.
