Bourbon Deals & Offers

My go to Bourbon - need to try some more to be honest as per comments above but can't go wrong with this at all imo.

Bought a load at Xmas at 20 quid..all gone now though..sob..

Haven't tried any Makers yet, I've read good things on them. Usually a little costly for me pinch point

It's a cocktail bourbon for sure, though a good one.

Hey Slo, which do you prefer between the Makers 46 and the normal one? I've never seen the 46 in any shop...

Very true. There’s a Tesco Metro about 10 miles away that I always pop into whenever I’m nearby. I’m pretty sure their stock controller/purchaser likes the finer things in life as they always have decent stuff “reduced to clear”. I bet he/she knows it’s going to sit on the shelf for a couple of weeks and then as soon as that £40 bottle gets reduced to £11.35... Christmas has come early! (lol)

I’ve never managed to ascertain any logic behind the where/when/why any given supermarket in the UK stocks any particular Kentucky bourbon/rye whiskey. Sometimes it just turns up in bulk and you’re in the right place at the right time. I quite like wandering to the spirits aisle of various supermarkets wherever I am because it’s nice when you find something relatively obscure for a reasonable fee, presumably because neither the shop nor the local consumers realise what they have on their hands.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth etc. Victimless crime imho!! (y)

Does anyone happen to know why the usual supermarkets have stopped stocking the regular 81? It would often be available for £15 but now all I see is the 101 for £30+

As I say, I think it was meant to be normal wild turkey burbon rather than the 101 burbon. As the label at the front said just Wild Turkey. But there wasn't any normal out.

Think I'll give the 101 a tryout. Wife opened my Jura 10 years the other night though so I'll finish it before giving the 101 a try. Cheers for the tip 😁

101 is £26 at my Tesco atm

Thanks for the tip I'll give it a try. I would normally only buy WR at £20 but I ran out. Too drunk to go to sainsbury and Amazon get it next day to my glass for the extra £2 (lol)

Agree 100% with that. Wild turkey 101 is a very good price as 26 and better that this but never less still a decent drink Woodford reserve

Agree with this. A bit more character to it. To be honest whenever WR or Bullet get down to the £22 i snap them up. don't often see 101 get that low though.

Same as how scotch is ridiculously priced over there 😜

Totally, they are shipping it, paying tax and a profit margin on it.

Why? For this price give it ago yourself? It doesn’t have so bad amazon reviews and it will be ok for a mixer if nothing else

Well worth the money. in my opinion the yellow label is lovely.

$14 in America, middle shelf stuff, used to mix it a lot to make Manhattans, probs wouldn’t drink it by itself though flavour quite singular. Still, heat for a decent price across this side of the pond.

I'm just coming to the end of my first bottle of ER and not sure if I'll have it again. I got a bottle of Bulleit 10yr old for my birthday and that WILL make the Fathers Day wishlist. Maybe need to try ER again to be doubly sure.

Back on at £28.99 again today

Seems there is a 10% discount code for new registration THANKYOU

Thedropstore.com

You can get the 12 year version for £35 delivered i got two bottles for £60 as free delivery over £50.00 from a quick google search, i tried to post deal a couple of weeks ago but they said as rantings weren't over 98% it wasn't allowed I've ordered from the company many times and had no issues, the two bottles came within a week.

Sorted. Cheers pal.

Jack apple £18 in Tesco

any particular shop? Just bought a bottle of jack 'apple' just added to their range....sure its not gonna b the same thoug

Not tried the honey, the Red Stag is far too sweet.

£18 in Sainsbury’s but that’s still 40% more so if you want a mixer or enjoy Jim anyway then this is good. To be honest I enjoy the rough edges :)

Yes, Aldi sold Old Horseshoe over Christmas and it was reportedaly sourced from the distiller of Old Forester.

Sunk half a bottle of old forester last night. Must of enjoyed it. No hangover too. I think it’s the same as Aldi sold around Christmas time though can’t remember what they sold it as horseshoe or something

2nd favourite bourbon. Thanks for posting. Heat added.

Fair enough. Having tried it it won't get any heat from me whatever the price.

I was quite surprised it went cold. Just because it’s not up to everyone’s taste doesn’t make it a bad deal.

Try JD Single Barrel Strength, might change people's op of JD, its lovely.

Too nice lol I nearly did a bottle in one night

Ordered cheers op

Received mine today. More flavoursome than most bourbons that I've tried and a decent kick to it.

Cheers!

Apples and oranges.

Honestly..I'd find another three quid and buy the Aberlour 12 Year Old Single Malt. Edit. Misread your post. 101 occasionally drops to £20. I stick with the recommendation though.

£26 on Amazon. What would be a grab it price?

One of my favourites, 101. (y)

I'd rate 101 a little above WR - although I track both on the Camels.

Awesome first deal post @Morgrug - thank you!

Wish I could get my hands on a bottle

None in Stoke

Has anyone else been able to confirm one way or the other if this deal is available in other stores?

Yes, but...

As above, Black is aged for longer giving a more rounded and smoother taste. Devils cut is the extreme of Double Oak, quite woody and a bit sharper. Black is by far the best value IMO. A really smooth pour for the price. Makers 46 and Wild Turkey 101 are sitting on my fridge ready to open next 🥴🤤 XD

This will be much more mellow. black is basically higher quality white label. Devil’s Cut is quite intense. I like them all.to each their own.

Any know know how this compares to JB Devil's Cut? Thanks

Ordered - thank you!

Just coming to the end of my bottle of Bookers, lovely stuff and at 62.95% it's got a kick to it. Only trouble is I can't find any more at a reasonable price, got it from Amazon last year for £50.

Or hang fire for a Woodford Reserve deal...

This.

This or Jim double barrel

Prime day? That was an awesome deal (y)

Went to my local Sainsburys today, didn’t even have it on the shelf. No label, no nothing sadly
