    That Malaga cask and the Bushmills Marsala cask have definitely been some of my faves from the Whisky club lately.
    Also that Offerman Lagavulin!

    Looks like inflation is eating away your assets in a manner of speaking.

    Is anyone else noticing stock and/or choice declining on shelves around the country or is it just my Melbourne/Dan Murphy's perspective?

    You have to look beyond Dans
    Cambridge cellars Caulfield Junction.
    Josh has probably the biggest whiskey collection.
    And his local to me.

    Dan's up here is getting worse, cutting a lot of my favourite lines in beer and whiskey. I went to the one on the Sunny Coast a few months back, their selection of whiskeys were okay, but their beer selection was atrocious. Nearly as bad as up here. Could be worse I suppose, could live in Gladstone. My bathroom is bigger than Dan's in Gladstone.

    I was going to stock up for Xmas today at DMs but they have a limited selection un-cooled...I've noticed it in 3 different stores now...QV in the CBD, South Melbourne and today in Ascot Vale. I asked the guy at the counter and he said it's a corporate decision to limit un-cooled beverages. Only your most popular beers are un-cooled in slabs. I couldn't find Lambrusco outside of the fridges! He reckons that their research showed people grab and chug!

    I think they have widened the aisles but reduced the size of the beer & mixer sections and increased the size of the wine sections.

    I was after some special beers and some Jameson+cola mixers but they are all chilled. I don't have room in the fridge to keep them all for 2 months! I'll have to get them from an independent or shop a few days before Xmas like all the peasants! Click and collect might be an option if you specified no refrigeration...don't know how that would go...

    I did notice today they had signs up on the shelves apologising for the lack of stock...Xmas might be interesting...

    How about investing in an actual distillery?
