25% cashback from ShopBack ONLY available for 4 hours between 4pm and 8pm TODAY, 21 April.

Details here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/532276

$40.18 After 25% Shopback Cashback

Delivery info: Pickup FREE, Free delivery for orders over $100, otherwise add delivery costs.

Dan Murphy's current price for this is $60.99. For those looking at this alternative Dan's should price-match the original $52 but you won't get the full 25% cashback.

(Mod note: Prices in title should not include post-cashback pricing, refer to Title guidelines. Prices must indicate the amount payable upon checkout, including postage costs if applicable)

Reply to Mod: My revision specifically didn't include post-cashback pricing, it alerted deal chasers to the discount available AND the limited timeframe. This is no different to deals which simply advertise increased cashback offers. Your editing actually does a significant disservice to deal hunters imo.

      Agreed, one of my favourite Rums.

      I also like Baron Samedi which has quite a unique taste and can often be found around $40 - $45.
      I was unsure about the first taste - but about 10 bottles later I'm still a fan.

        sorry, I have been brewing washes, which I have since been distilling.

        even my more expensive brews (sorry, distills?), which are rums (molasses gets expensive), I am used to paying less then $10/L, including power, water and material.

            @meatball: Do you have to pay it if you distill say a couple liters of spirit per month for your own consumption?

            • Watto23 on 22/04/2020 - 08:49
              +2

              @Michael1983: You do technically needa licence to distill above 5L and even that 5L I think is not meant for alcholic consumption. Many distillers with legit businesses didn't get their license until they were ready to sell and used a 5L or smaller still. Once you register you have to pay excise and thus why many don't get a bigger still and register until they are going into commercial production.

            • meatball on 22/04/2020 - 18:43

              @Michael1983: https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Excise-and-excise-equivalent…

              It’s pretty black and white on the ATO website. You can claim a 60% rebate though. I used to keep everything above board, while stilling at home so I could safely hand out alcohol to friends and family.

  • Juan93 on 21/04/2020 - 13:38

    Never actually had spiced rum. Interested. I wanna ask what it tastes like, but I guess that’s a stupid question!
    What would you mix this with?

    • Gecko on 21/04/2020 - 13:40
      +3

      I love this with Vanilla Pepsi Max! Increases that spiced flavour, really tasty.

      But also goes great with normal Coke/Pepsi Max.

      I really love mixing drinks with homebrand coke/coke zero because the taste isn't as overpowering as normal Coke and you can get more of the flavour of the spirit with it.

      • knobbs on 21/04/2020 - 15:11

      Best way i would describe it is as a bourbon with hint of Caribbean spice and a bit of creamy/vanilla nuances depending on the brand

    Still waiting on that cashback to show up in my account from last time 03/03. Should be in my account on the 18/05 which is more than a three month waiting period and I am highly sceptical that I would ever get it since it has nearly always been declined for anything that should've been over $20 in cashback.
    Speaking of the rum, atm my favourite rums are CM and Bundaberg spiced.

      So far the only clear restriction is max $30 cashback. Wait for the deal and look at the published T&Cs - ask ShopBack to confirm if you're concerned. I'll be asking savemore's question because I want to c&c.

  • savemore on 21/04/2020 - 14:54

    Can anyone clarify if 25% Shopback offer is only valid if you purchase using Delivery on Demand (i.e. need to order a min. $100 to get free delivery) or can you do a click and collect and still qualify for the 25% off?

    • [Deactivated] on 21/04/2020 - 15:47

      Gday Fred and others. Some steps you might consider:

      (1) If you have evidence of the clickthrough and proof of purchase then you should ask SB to investigate and have BWS make good on the deal.

      (2) If you get no satisfaction there your next step is to complain to BWS directly, pointing out the advertisement and their lack of delivery on the offer - ie you give them a chance to fulfill their obligations under consumer law. Ideally you should mention this obligation when you complain to them.

      (3) If you get fobbed off there then return the item for a refund and/or fill out a complaint on both your state consumers affairs and the ACCC websites. They will record the complaint and if they get enough similar complaints will ask the seller to explain and/or rectify (they can't rectify if you've already returned the item for a refund obviously).

      As we all know these are classic marketing inducements to get consumers to buy on the promise of a later discount. Sellers can't simply wave away their responsibility to make good on that promise after they have your money. Under consumer law sellers are required to fulfill all offers - within reason.

      In short - know your consumer rights and 'demand' that BWS and ShopBack fulfill their obligations under ACL.
