Best duty free video I’ve seen to be honest 👏

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks Joe! we have more of these Enthusiast episodes coming soon so let us know if there's anything you'd like to see Ian explore. sláinte

[@IanBear1000]

Thanks Joe 🎉

[@mynameismaomao]

we need more videos like this! but would like to see more bottles & their prices

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Thanks for the comment Mao Mao, we’ll be sure to get Ian on the job!

[@IanBear1000]

Hopefully back again soon! 🎉

[@mrnoisy4883]

The way you say Dewars is hilarious 😂😂

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Agreed!

[@saschaoswald480]

Very interesting, Ian. I don't get to travel much, so seeing this was quite fascinating. Can't imagine the kind of person who picks up a 50yr old Fettercairn on a whim while passing through Heathrow, but I am but a poor working man, so what do I know? Now a Dalmore with 5 different finishes, that's more like it....NOT! I think you were spot on with the Glenfiddichs being among the most interesting options on display there. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

this made me laugh Sascha - very true. Hopefully one day we'll be able to swan through and pick up some 50Y/O juice, but until then the 'Fiddich works wonders. sláinte

[@IanBear1000]

My pleasure! There are still gems, but hidden amongst a sea of guff sadly 😢

[@sergiomontesdeoca5955]

Great video! Interesting analysis at the end regarding the duty free market strategy

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Thanks for watching Sergio - we’ll be sure to head back to Duty Free again soon for some more content. Sláinte

[@IanBear1000]

An ever changing market so we will do another for sure 😮

[@stevelandwonder4760]

Parley is under £50 Amazon atm

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

good looking out Steve!

[@rafaelnardiiii]

There's used to be a LOT more stuff there a few years ago...

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Selections can change relatively frequently but there’s normally a few gems to be found. Anything that you keep your eyes open for in particular when travelling?

[@IanBear1000]

It was sadly quite disappointing on that visit 😢

[@thepatriotsrage661]

Excellent vid, thanks for sharing. I for one, like the exclusivity that the travel retail editions bring, even if they are NAS. The Glenfiddich options look phenomenal, I'll prioritise them for a future U.S trip. Slainte mate! Best wishes from South Africa.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

sorry Brendan, I completely missed this comment. thanks for tuning in and so glad to hear that you're enjoying the content! I agree completely about the exclusivity and believe there are some great options in SA duty free. happy shopping my friend, sláinte!

[@orlybriceno]

Awesome video, thanks so much! I am going to do something similar, fly to London, then train to Edinburgh, do you know if you can shop in the duty free on arrival to LHR?

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Thanks for watching Orlando! I think it depends on where you’re flying from in honesty but you should be able to get some great stuff one end or the other 🥃🥃

[@jasoncraig2281]

Did I hear an “Ardberg” in there??? :)

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

😅 good man Jason, keep him honest!

[@IanBear1000]

Dammit 😬😬😬

[@India_del]

That’s what I called breif explanation

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

just an opening gambit to introduce Duty Free to our audience Gaurav - what would you like to see us dive into next time?

[@kevinmrn]

more of you saying Dewars please.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

love this! I'll be sure to let Ian know

Why did you post a very old video? When was this recorded? The Travel exclusives currently available are not the ones on this video! The Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition has been out of stock for more than a month. But they now have the Cote Rotie edition in stock Great prices on all Ardbeg Expressions.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

It’s not that old Dileep, we’ve just been busy filming a lot of content these past few months so getting it edited and uploaded has taken a minute. Don’t worry, we’ll head back to duty free again for more updates

[@crystalmethshrimp]

Have been doing a lot of travelling and whisky hunting over the past 2 years and duty-free has been getting progressively worse. My rule of thumb these days is, if it's in duty-free, then its probably not a great whisky and over priced.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

shame to hear that - I appreciate your point but I do think there are some decent gems to be found. where do you do your whisky shopping?

[@crystalmethshrimp]

@@TheWhiskyBaron I hunt for dusty bottles around the US. Recently, found 2 x Deanston 10 PX for around $65 each and a craigellachie 23 for $270 USD.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@crystalmethshrimp nice! sounds like the previous owner didn't know what they had. sláinte
