You have got to wonder about JW's pricing policy, my boys gave me a bottle of JW Blue for fathers day cost at Dan's - $155 for 700 mil = $221 for a litre but a great price on a 700 mil bottle of JW Black at Dan's would be just under $40 =$57 per litre.

So at $28 1 litre JW Black is a great buy in TPE!

For $220 I would be sticking to the Single Malts.

At ICN they had a great deal of 66 USD for 2 double black + 200ml spice road.

2 * spice road was just 60 USD

This is also true. The price difference between the airport and supermarkets in town seems to be negligible at times, and often better if the store has a sale. Carrefour doesn't always have 1L bottles of everything though (so you'd just need to buy 3x700). This is also a good option if you're not flying direct to BNE/SYD, as having it in your checked baggage means you won't lose it at a transit point.

May not be completely related, but are liqueurs like Kahlua and Baileys much cheaper duty free in some Asian ports?
Just had a look and DMs has Kahlua 700mL at $24.95 and Baileys 700mL at $22.95 - when were they ever that cheap??

I was just in MNL and purchased JW Gold 750ML for AU$41 from the Rustans dept store - thought that was pretty good. JW Double Black seems to have gone up across the board - pricing strategy I guess?

JW gold Reserve, not JW gold I presume?

Yes Reserve! Either way it was the last bottle...sigh

Its OT but I hate the way they have rebranded, with Gold Reserve taking over the Green band as well as removing the age requirements of 12-15.

Forgot about this thread - been doing photoshoots airside at Suvarnabhumi for the past few months for DF companies, so get to see the prices quite regularly.

I do know they have a deal on Martell at the moment - celebrating 300 years; 1L Cordonbleu & XO Miniature was about 8500THB/AUD320. I'm not a Cognac drinker, so don't know if that's a good buy or not.

Usually shoot twice a month, next time I'll take some notes.

Am heading to Suvarnabhumi tonight for photoshoot; already organised to have a look at some whiskey whilst I'm there, after the shoot.

Happy to update anyone who has a request - PM me with your favourite.

KUL is the big winner on this quick survey.

+1 ... KUL + White Spirit usually = good value.

Johnnie Walker Black Duty Free

I seem to remember a forum long ago that compared the price of Johnnie Walker Black at different airports. But now I can't find it.

Specifically I need to decide - do I buy several bottles of JW Black at Sydney, BKK or HKT?

Many thanks.

That's the one. Many thanks. It looks like BKK for me.
