I could get into that

I thought it tasted terrible but I don’t really like any IPA’s. I just kept a can for my Star Wars collection.

Yes but you forget about the rapacious behaviour of American conglomerates.

Many of them have put up prices over 100% in our supermarkets, so you should be happy with that sub-50% rise.

FYI the same bottle can be bought from some US supermarkets for under US$30 + sales tax (which is zero in states eg Oregon).

“Duty free” shops sell spirits at higher prices than US supermarkets do.

You’ll be seeing a lot about Australia’s excise tax on spirits in the media this week. The rate has just gone to $101.8 per LAA. What that means is that a 700ml bottle of anything at 40%. That’s about $28 in tax. On a bottle of standard vodka you could buy in Dan’s for $35, $26 is tax.

Disgraceful. Again slugging consumers when most big companies and hyper rich pay zero tax.

I went to Langkawi recently where it’s proper duty free, not like the airport where it;s duty free with massive airport markup. A litre of Bombay gin was about $25 compared to more than twice that at Tulla.

I’ve fled Melbourne. My emergency medicinal stash is getting a workout. Music, Jamo and quiet contemplation of life is the go tonight.

The way it’s going, I’m gonna have to restock the medicine cupboard before I depart again.

Easily my favourite of the general , bulk made whiskey’s.

Jameson’s is our ‘go to’ whiskey - at home and away. Often finish the evening with a little snifter. :tumbler_glass: Warms the cockles of your heart.

A Daiquiri, a sling, two children’s toys, a British bake off book and a couple of episodes of the night manager. Pretty good!
