I purchased these miniatures which came from Centre City Wine and Spirits in Waring Taylor St, Wellington
a few months ago. The Triple Pack from Tomintoul contains three 50ml bottle at 40%. There are a 10yr old,
16yr old and a 21yr old Speyside Glenlivet single malt scotch whiskies. It is/was priced at $49.99.
However, the 25yr old Tomintoul which I did not have was a shocker at $40. I then checked on-line the
price in the UK cost and it converted to approximately to same price. After that, I didn’t feel quite so bad.
This set of Johnny Walker minis was
purchased at the duty free store at
Wellington Airport just prior to our first
Covid lockdown Feb 2020 while flying to
Melbourne for a holiday (remember those?).
On this occasion, Customs made it clear that
one miniature was equivalent to one
standard bottle in our duty free quota.
The pack consists of JW Black Label BSW
12yr, a JW Double Black BSW, a JW Gold
Label Reserve BSW, and a JW 18yr BSW. Price
$45.
