A quick perusal of November's and December's "Speakeasy Acquisitions" threads along with the "anybody else giving scotch as xmas presents?" thread will give an indication of the importance of malt whisky at this time of year.
The buying, the giving .................................................
and the BARGAINS are most prevalent during November and December.
Please join me in celebrating your acquisitions and here's wishing you the receipt of even more water of life...........
At Christmas (Europe) / Over the holiday period (US)
November:
Glenlivet 12 - £10 off - £15.99
Glenmorangie One Litre - Half price - £18.49
December:
Lagavulin 16 - Costco - £29.88
And finally,
(Big Drum Roll)
The Glenrothes Select Reserve
This Speyside malt from the venerable stable of Berry Bros and Rudd has only been available in recent times as a single malt bottling. The Select Reserve is a multi vintage blend in the same vein as Krug Grand Cuvee.
It is usually about 32 quid but I noticed that Wine Rack in Knutsford had it on offer at £24.99.
A supplier to our department at work, sent some vouchers as a Christmas present and the relevant staff each had a £10 voucher to be redeemed in high street department stores or Thresher Wines/Wine Rack.
I drove to the closest Wne Rack (about 8 miles away) and was pleased to see that they stocked The Glenrothes at the offer price.
The shop is also running a promotion where there is 20% off any malt above £20 in value until 7/1/09
£24.99 became £19.99
Factor in the £10 voucher and I was left with £9.99 to pay for a £32 malt
Fingers crossed for some malts as Christmas presents
Here's wishing that all malt devotees on B&B have the opportunity to imbibe to their heart's content.
