The Single Malt Scotch industry has been in a bit of a tailspin, recently.  Too much demand and not enough whisky have caused prices to skyrocket.  Almost daily I hear people complain about how their favorite whisky used to cost them $30-$40 less than what they are paying now.  Truthfully, I take this with a grain of salt because it’s been about 10 years since they paid those prices.  Prices go up every year…it’s a fact of life.  If that wasn’t the case, you could still buy a new Corvette for $6,000.  But this eLetter isn’t about a price increase…it’s about a price decrease.

I think it was about 3 years ago that the Talisker 175th Anniversary was released.  This whisky commemorated Talisker’s founding in 1830.  The wholesale price on this whisky was $89/bottle and I was charging $116.99/bottle.  This was a fair price, but nothing spectacular.  I’d say it was a standard market price.  Well, I was recently approached by my distributor to take their remaining cases.  This whisky was a one-time bottling and I guess they just wanted to get rid of what they had.  Until I sell out, I’m going to put the Talisker 175th Anniversary Single Malt Scotch Whisky on sale for $74.99/bottle.  That’s a 36% discount off my everyday price.  Not only that, but it’s the lowest price in the country.

NOTE: Due to changes in our shipping rates, it's cost effective if you order at least 3 bottles. It can be any 3 bottles on our website. I suggest you call your friends, family members or even that annoying guy you work with to put together at least a 3 bottle order and minimize the shipping charges.
