15% off spirits at Binny's this Saturday. in-store only. Binny's has a great selection of whisky of all types and typically good prices to begin with.

You need a card (which they give to anyone who asks) and a coupon, which they probably give to you too. (They emailed one to me.)

Black Bottle 10 Year Old Islay Vatted Scotch.

I found three bottles in a tiny liquor store in the Texas Pan Handle. I bought all three bottles, in the original box covered in dust. Not sure how to read the date codes could be either 2001 or 1995.

I love the original no age BB, can't wait for the right time to try the BB 10y. Absolutely beautiful bottle and label. I believe the Black Bottle 10y predates Bunnahabhain purchasing BB label, does anyone know for sure?

The lady at the register couldn't remember ever selling at bottle so she discounted them, $36 each.
This was an amazing find.

To many to mention, but some that come to mind 5 bottles of lagavulin 12yo cask strength 2010 Release for $39.99 each! 3 bottles of glenfiddich snow Phoenix for $62.00 bucks each When release, but still a great price considering that most wanted $99.99 or more. One more Clynelish 1972 31yo mackillops choice for $100.00 bucks straight. Slangee-vah????

@OlJas I've been to the Binny's at Highland Park, and I must say their selection of whisky/whiskey is impressive.

The owner at Columbus said that the distributor gave him two boxes to see if They move, I remember that they were placed the the center floor by the Whisky section with a tag of 39.99. I thought to myself, their move alright By me.

DevD, I didn't really think that snowpheonix would be popular, I would have Purchased a lot more. The prices range from $62.00 cheapest for me to $125 or so.

Binny's has a heapin' helping of their IBs marked down to clear out, apparently. Pretty huge discounts in some cases. They ship many bottles, but not all. You can filter their website to sale items only.

I think Binny's prices are generally pretty fair to begin with, so this is pretty awesome. I just ordered four bottles for $250 + S&H. The markdowns on these bottles total $175.

This is a great opportunity to order some unusual stuff, like Glentauchers, Glenburgie, Glen Keith, or Balmenach. (I ordered a Longmorn, a Glenburgie, and two Bowmores.)

I walked into my local liquor retailer looking to see what deals were to be had. Picked up a 1.75 10 year Glenmorangie original for 42.00. He told me the store was phasing out the 1.75 and that was the reason for the deep discount.

A few months ago Spec's was selling Johnnie Walker gold for $40 a bottle. These were the gold clad bottle versions that typically sell for over $70. Purchased 10 bottles between my dad and I.

Knappogue 16 YO Irish Single Malt is only $30 for some reason (???!!!) at Mission Wine & Spirits. They ship:

missionliquor.com/product/…

If I hadn't seriously overblown my whisky budget lately, I'll be all over that. Their 40% 12 YO is a staple for me at that same price. The 46% 16 YO is a big sloppy steal of a deal for sure.

@DevD Sorry... it's from Warehouse Wines, 735 Broadway & Astor Pl. It's not a Talisker 18 bottle, just a plastic bag with 4 small 18's. They used to have a blue gift box with 3 x 200ml (Talisker 10, DE & 18) @ $29, next year $39, currently $49. I've seen the 18 around $140 so this is a good deal. I assume the 200 ml & the 750ml bottles taste the same...
