This Week's Shopping Deal

[AlexO]

Following on from a post a couple of weeks ago, it seems that the tax changes have benefited Bells Whiskey for some reason.

7/11 are now selling 70cl (700ml) bottles for 349THB, which equates to 698THB for 1.4 litres.

All I ask is pleeeeeaaase leave some for me.

Really quite surprised but Tops still selling Bells Whisky at pre budget costs, 1 litre bottle 499 Baht today. Cheaper than in Scotland!!

I think that must be the post budget price AlexO,

If it's gone down to B349 for 70oml in the budget, then that would be the same as B499 for 1 litre

Whatever it says on the bottle I do not think that this is proper Scotch, I think made in Thailand or India or somewhere else but not Scotland. Tasted it once, never again.

Dewar's and Bell's were always the whisky of choice on the 'optics' in most pubs when I was growing up in Scotland...because it was chape!

It's all genyoowine hooch from north of Hadrian's so why balk a one bottle, eh?

Hoots mon! Scooby-doo an' Howe o' the Mearns to you all.

Sorry no it does not . Not sure about import tax but i have a friend who imports beer to uk from around the world and he tells me about 3 baht a bottle for transportation . The last bottle of bells i bought in thailand cost 1200 baht , was disgusting and i poured it out and then reading the small print was made or bottled in indoneasia

Ok Gents, I hear all the abuse but, NAAFI duty free prices in Germany were so cheap it was the losers who had to buy the coca cola.
I have researched as much as I can and it seems legit, tastes good and has the desired effect. Merry Xmas to all.

"tastes good and has the desired effect."

That's always been good enough for me Happy Christmas

[the-monk]

This morning at old BIG C.
Happy safe holidays to all.

Love the (probably unintentional) reference to Scotsman Alexander Graham BELL with the telephone box, but not sure what it's got to do with a London routemaster bus or the Elizabeth tower

[wazza]

A blend of many perhaps

[tamada]

Bell's, British and Bugger the EU (and Nicola Sturgeon).

That chap who signs himself as "Ashamed to be English..." should get a bottle or 3.

Produced n bottled under license in Asia ... a mate in Bkk told me a while back exactly where but i forgot what he said ..will find out which country and update.

Reading the small print...

Distilled Blended and Bottled in Scotland

[stattointhailand]

And that makes it about as Authentic as my genuine fake rolex.

As if the Thai equivalent of The Advertising Standards Office could or would be bothered to do anything about fake goods

Must be the real deal then 5555555555 ... labels printed n attached in ???????????????

Neither on the bottle nor on the box i could find such small print. On the back of the bottle one can read <<SOLE DISTRIBUTOR FOR THAILAND: DIAGEO MOET HENNESSY THAILAND LTD>> followed by their Bkk address. I doubt very much that DIAGEO would allow fake to be sold under their brand name.
Have a nice day.

"I doubt very much that DIAGEO would allow fake to be sold under their brand name." VERY VERY TRUE =D>

Nor would Adidas or Rolex or Coco Chanel or any other leading brand name, so that proves without a doubt the rolex I got on Sukhumvit is genuine
