well when we were last up round your way, I commented on the extortionate prices in a whisky shop, in the nicest possible way, and was told that they, i.e. the distillers, put em up as they could still flog em. Also a country's govt can make a difference. It used to eb a lot cheapr in Frogland until flippingMacron suddenly wacked the tax on spirits up.All the distilleries have suddenly had a wobble though. They’ve all been spending $$$ upgrading all the buildings to up production, riding the wave of success, but suddenly the wheels are threatening to fall off as demand has dropped off. Whether it’s a temporary blip or a longer trend, who knows but staff are already being cut
Maybe they'll sniff the breeze and drop their prices. After all, we all know that the stuff in the bottles costs pence to make!
