Peal Posted August 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I was on a mission to buy 2 bottles of Islay single malt whiskies, and a bottle of Hendricks Gin. Neither Fung Kuei nor Carnival had the whiskies I wanted, so picked 2 brands from Fung Kuei without knowing Australian prices. Hendricks Gin was available from both stores. When I got home I went online to see if I’d got good deals. Vila is certainly the place to buy alcohol, but Carnival may be better if you want 2 bottles of a common spirit. Here are the results - Fung Kuei Duty Free Port Vila - Caol Ila 2004 (bottled 2016)Moscatel Cask Finish - Distillers Edition – $56.00 (Dan Murphy’s has it at $150,but other suppliers approx. $100) Lagavulin 16 Year Old ScotchWhisky 700mL – $66.00 (Dan Murphy’s $108) St Remy Brandy 1Litre – $18.00 (DanMurphy’s $53) Hendricks Gin 1Litre – $48.00 (Nota common size in Aust but approx. $99) Carnival Spirit Duty Free– Carnival had a very good price on Hendricks Gin if you bought 2 bottles. Other spirits also had special prices if you bought 2 bottles and these looked good. Single malts didn’t seem all that cheap, but buying 2 bottles gives a 15% discount & 3 bottles 20%. Hendricks Gin 1Litre – $61.99 eachor 2 for $70. Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single MaltScotch Whisky 700mL - $69.99 (Dan Murphy’s $75.99) Craigellachie 13 Year Old SingleMalt Scotch Whisky 700mL $89.99 (Dan Murphy’s $99.99) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
