Interesting conversation with the manager at a DM in a high socio-economic area of the Gold Coast today.
I was looking for the Mount Mary that some people have picked up on the cheap lately.
He said it was only on clearance at stores that can’t sell it. Read: lower socioeconomic areas.
He told me he sells “heaps of it” at his store and had personally driven around to pick up about $4k worth from other Gold Coast stores last week because he can sell them (and I suppose the other stores can’t).
But he also said (claimed?) to have drunk one personally last night after buying a dozen direct from MM. He reckons MM is struggling financially and he paid less than buying with his staff discount.
He claimed to have paid <$100/btl direct.
MM website requires an account to see prices and I couldn’t be bothered doing that. but if you’re a MM fan it may be worthwhile.
YMMV.
