I can see a Father's Day gift for my old man coming on! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

congrats mate and thanks for still taking the time to help out us punters. :razz:

I guess this means i will never be able to taste them.
Ones that win awards quickly rise above my price range.

Good job Dobsons.

I hope our whiskeys are always priced well... I really hate how distillers price gouge after awards.... The realities are that whiskey of quality does cost a lot to make, just to illustrate we charge $160 for this whiskey...it seems a lot I know, but lets just break it down.... Grain Scottish two row peated ($70 per bottle at 60%) excise $37.70 (from memory) bottle 60 cents to $1.60...label 50 cents, labour estimate $15...freight estimate $7 ( Often much more) then you have to buy barrels and age the spirit... we take everything into account to determine a price...that price is determined by the true total cost to us...not demand.
Having said that whiskey will always cost more than most other spirits...it simply costs more to make.

Good price breakdown doc :handgestures-thumbupleft:

And congrats on the awards... I have to get back into NOLA in Adelaide one night and sample some more of your products!

Congratulations to you and your team Doc. Great effort. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
