No, but I did get access to the staff shop...
istr a slab of Guinness came in at about a tenner. And bottles of malt
normally costing 40 quid were 25 or so. And they did have that special on
Johnnie Walker Blue Label[1] at 30 pounds a bottle, just before Father's
Day last year...

take a look at the price, and work out how much of it is down to brand
values, rather than whisky quality...
