    It is €48 in Ireland. Alcohol taxes in Ireland are high, with the absurd situation that you can buy Irish Whiskeys and Gins for cheaper in the UK and Europe.

    Being surprised by CLEAR LIQUID from the BLUE BOTTLE was the same reaction I got from BOMBAY SAPPHIRE...
    I think that got me used to the idea of expecting "less" when it comes to blue bottles.
    But DRUMSHANBO is far from less, I've had many Gin[s] in this life-time, and this has now become my default Gin when I'm not trying to have anything flavored.

    You should try Hyde Whiskey from Cork, Ireland. My father is a big whiskey drinker (and knows a thing or two at 80) and he has been raving about it
