Cheapest I've seen this is £18 at Sainsburys at Xmas time. Hot!

Jacks all up north! Nothing down south..

Hit added, I hope it's the same price in my local shop 😁

Belter??? Asda 18£

It’s heat from me

Wot!! No brandy?

Perfect. Time to stock up on Capt. Morgans! :)

Great find @Iman1 - thanks for sharing & taking the pic :) heat added

They had a couple of the whisky ones in switch island b&m.. @ 50p (y)

Went on to our B&m and Home bargains (sister group) and they were full price £1.99 -hate to say -they are bloody lovely

I really don't understand the cold voters. Please can any one of them show me where this is available cheaper?

Heat a good few quid cheaper than everywhere else I've not tried this one yet but my mate has and reckons the rhubarb one is far better

Great deal have some heat !

Thanks OP, will be trying this. (y) Your adorable little dog looks very interested in the bottle too......

Well, if thedeal is g0ood, whynooot ;-)

Ahhh drunk posting a deal, fantastic

Hair of the dog?

Makes sens now haha ...and night is still young :D

Because people are insisting they have seen it for £12 in Asda when Asda have never sold it and Tesco haven’t sold it for two years.

not sure why you feel like people are being ignorant, regardless of the fine detail this was extremely cheap whisky a few years ago. i agree you won't find it for the same prices in the UK now, but it's hard to argue that paying £30 for a whisky that should be worth half of that won't constitute a "good deal" for most people.

This is so much nicer than Jack Honey, less sugary tasting. Haven't seen it in any supermarket for years though.

It was £13 in Tesco.

Thank you op for posting in the face of ignorance. Those who swear they saw it for £12 in Asda probably also swear Elvis is alive and working in their local chippy (lol)

Oop's, correct. 8)

According to Wikipedia Allergic reaction Individuals who cannot tolerate propylene glycol experience inflamed dry skin in the facial area, or small red dots on the body. Propylene glycol has the dubious honor of being named the American Contact Dermatitis Society's Allergen of the Year for 2018.[4] Estimates on the prevalence of propylene glycol allergy range from 0.8% (10% propylene glycol in aqueous solution) to 3.5% (30% propylene glycol in aqueous solution).[54][55][56] The North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) data from 1996 to 2006 showed that the most common site for propylene glycol contact dermatitis was the face (25.9%), followed by a generalized or scattered pattern (23.7%).[54] Investigators believe that the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis to propylene glycol may be greater than 2% in patients with eczema or fungal infections, which are very common in countries with lesser sun exposure and lower-than-normal vitamin D balances. Therefore, propylene glycol allergy is more common in those countries.[57] Dangers of Propylene Glycol from draxe.com 1. Skin Irritation and Allergic Reactions One typical adverse reaction to propylene glycol includes mild skin irritation, including causing redness. Usually, this happens in people who are allergic to the chemical and subsides after a short period of time after the body has had time to break down the compound. (5) If exposed to the eyes and facial area, propylene glycol can also be an irritant and cause mild conjunctivitis. 2. Potentially Toxic to the Kidneys and Liver Propylene glycol is used in many IV medications, including Lorazepam, an anxiety-reducing and seizure treatment medication. This drug is often administered to patients with extensive burns as sedation during the healing process or to psychiatric patients. When given Lorazepam for an extended period of time in large doses, clinicians have discovered possible kidney issues in the form of increased creatinine levels in the blood. (6) Generally, creatinine (a product of muscle breakdown and growth) remains in consistent levels in the bloodstream. Excess creatinine is a sign that the kidney is unable to process compounds at a normal rate. People who already operate with poor kidney function are unlikely to be able to process propylene glycol efficiently and should avoid exposure when possible. A 2007 study from the University of Connecticut assessed the treatment of propylene glycol toxicity and also noted it can be dangerous for those with liver problems. (7) On an interesting, positive note, propylene glycol might actually have the ability to protect your liver from damage done by the common headache medication, acetaminophen. (8) 3. Probably Not Safe for Infants or Pregnant Women Prospective mothers are usually very cautious during and after pregnancy to ensure their children’s health. In the case of propylene glycol, it should be no different. While some research states that neonates (preterm infants) have been found to have no adverse side effects from propylene glycol, it’s also true that infants cannot break down this compound as quickly as an adult can. (9, 10) This is due to the enzyme pathways that are still in development at the time of birth — depending on whom you ask, the period of development can last anywhere from six months to four years. Before the completed growth of these enzyme pathways, parents should avoid allowing their children to ingest or be exposed to many chemicals that are potentially harmful, and pregnant mothers should do the same. (11) 4. Neurological Symptoms The one area in which the CDC’s toxicity profile negatively assessed propylene glycol was in the area of neurological symptoms. When taken orally and tested by patch test to find the amount of the chemical still in their system, a number of people were found to have varying degrees of neurological issues, including stupor, convulsions and other unspecified “severe mental symptoms.” In a cat-based study, cats receiving the high dose developed “decreased activity, mental depression, and slight to moderate ataxia.” It’s important here to note that the humans in the noted studies above had been exposed to orally administered medication containing propylene glycol and were most likely allergic to it. The dangers of propylene glycol - Dr. Axe 5. Cardiovascular Problems Heart disease and symptoms have been commonly associated with propylene glycol exposure, mostly in part due to a few case studies that have caused alarming concern. One such patient was an 8-month-old who suffered a heart attack after four doses of topical medication to treat a burn. A horse was also reported to suffer a myocardial edema after a mistaken oral dosage of a very large amount of propylene glycol. 6. Respiratory Issues There are conflicting reports regarding the impact of inhaled propylene glycol. As it’s a fairly common ingredient in smoke machines (for theater productions) and other inhalable substances, this is an important distinction to make. In rats, some scientists have found enlarged cells in the respiratory tract, as well as some nasal hemorrhaging. In another case, the horse mentioned above who suffered myocardial edema eventually died of respiratory arrest. While the conditions under which these studies occurred are unlikely to be repeated in humans, this information is still relevant. Many substances can be potentially toxic in massive doses, and it’s impossible to guarantee these chemicals do not build up in dangerous levels, especially in some cases. 7. Potentially Bioaccumulative in Certain Cases I did mention earlier that propylene glycol is not considered bioaccumulative (builds up over time in the bloodstream). However, critically ill adults may be an exception to this rule. When administered large doses of Lorazepam, adults with or without kidney issues have experienced an abnormal buildup of propylene glycol. (12) If you suffer from kidney or liver issues that may affect your body’s ability to process organic compounds, or are chronically ill, I highly recommend limiting your exposure to this compound as much as possible, as for these individuals propylene glycol can act like a poison. One interesting case study followed a 24-year-old woman diagnosed with pneumonia. She was given Lorazepam for 18 days to treat her severe respiratory distress, at which time she developed lactic acidosis, a condition marked by lowering the body’s pH level to a dangerous extreme. After discontinuing the drug that poisoned her body, her condition stabilized for a period of time, but she later died after her condition deteriorated again. (13) Again, this is an example of the rare (but possible) effects of the accumulation of propylene glycol in your system. 8. May Be a Pathway for More Harmful Chemicals Perhaps the most concerning part of constant propylene glycol exposure is the way that it may provide other chemicals a free pass into your bloodstream. Propylene glycol increases your skin’s propensity to absorb whatever it comes into contact with. Considering the large amount of dangerous chemicals we encounter on a regular basis, this may be of even more danger than the compound itself.

Propylene Glycol is in loads of things that we consume. Eliquid for electronic cigarettes are usually at least 30% Propylene Glycol, many as much as 80%. It's also used in air conditioning units in hospitals with the purpose of making the air easier to breathe. You could drink a litre of pure Propylene Glycol and no harm would come to you.
