My 3 Steps for Beginners Buying Whisky at the Duty Free Shop - And I Taste MACALLAN LUMINA!

[@cubeeism]

Thank you. Great info

Nice one Tim, good info for the uninitiated. Definitely do your homework before hand and sometimes I order online and pick it up there just in case the bottle I want ran out before I made it to the airport. Ah man someone got me a gift of this Lumina. Very generous yet massively misguided. I did not have the heart to tell them that they wasted their money. It's such a basic whisky for a stupid price. Cheers Tim!

I'm hearing from a lot of commenters that ordering online in advance also gets a discount, which means it's a must. Cheers!

Thanks for the upload. Interesting stuff! Did I miss any mention of the 1 Ltr bottle versus a 0.70 (or 0.75) Ltr bottle that does make up for some of the prices. 😉

Fyi, in all the duty free shops, throughout the UK, if you preorder online, you get 10% off. You have to preorder latest by 24 hours before your flight. You also see all their whisky as well. Strongly recommend it.

I am just now learning this, and will be taking advantage of this discount next time I'm there. Potentially a decisive difference ...

I have had good luck shopping for travel retail exclusive whisky in LHR. Ordering online results in 10% discount.

[@whiskywhereabouts]

10% could be a big difference. I'll be looking at ordering ahead the next time I'm there ...

Go for 1 litre bottles!

[@whiskywhereabouts]

Depends what is in them ...

[@christinecamley]

First rule! Skip Maccallan! Overpriced and heavily overrated!!

[@whiskywhereabouts]

Fair enough.
