WTK: Where to get a wide variety of scotch/whisky?

Postby Energy0091 » June 29th, 2021, 8:07 am

Hi, I want to purchase, as a gift, a nice bottle of scotch for a scotch lover. Is there anywhere, locally, that stocks a wider variety of scotch than the traditional Massy or rum shop?
Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for anything in particular OP?

I visited those places mentioned, albeit not very recently, and found their selection to be limited in terms of good scotch. Wines, yes. Scotch, no.

Xtra foods in Endeavour has a decent variety of alcohol although I am not sure if you'll get what you are looking for there.

Last went Naughty Grape in Feb and Solera around Xmas . Both their whiskey selections was pretty poor.
Chivas 18yr was the best Naughty Grape had and they had no single malts, everything was blended. Solera's best was a Maccallan (can't remember the age)

Been trying what was available locally since Xmas and I found the best Scotch was the Glenfiddich 18yr old.
Availability spotty but you usually could have gotten it at Geelal's. Xtra Foods GB had up to around January.
Pricewise the Glenfiddich 15yr would by my favourite. OFC if you intend to use any chaser then B&W should be your go to.

All the Glenlivets were found at Massy.

I liked the selection I saw at the BottleStop’s online store. I don’t have anything particular in mind but I’m looking at their 15 and 18 year selections and checking online reviews of them.

Try the Boundary Road Extension Liquor Mart in Aranguez, they have a very wide selection.

Brydens might be good for the gift sets...since they are the actual licensed distributors

Isn't Naughty Grape Bryden's?
And they refer you to there for non-commerical quantity purchases.
