Depends on which shop you end up and if there is a bar fine to it.

A typical bottle of scotch say Black and White

Johnie Walker Black Label 75cl = 970 Bht

Chivas 70cl around the same price

J.W. Black Label around Baht 1000 for 0.75 l.

Roughly 0.75 l same price down-town as 1 l at BKK duty free shops in the airport.

I saw some 12 year old single malt in Chalong for 1200 baht. Haven't tried it yet. Good price though.

BTW Jim Beam is Kentucky bourbon while it is a very good whiskey it is a very different animal from a good scotch.

Note: Jack Daniel's is a Tennessee sour mash whiskey notably different from the Kentucky bourbon which is much smoother.

I don't think they should be allowed to call themselves whisky/whiskey. They are bourbons, nothing like whisky. Admittedly they are good with coke.

I used to drink Thai Maekong or Sangthip with coke, just as good. I added coke to hide/change the taste. As for the Thais who drink Johnnie Walker and coke, they don't believe me when I tell them that they wouldn't get seved in some of my old locals, or maybe worse.

If you do insist on putting anything in your whiskey. Then i would suggest soda. Coke is too sweet. If anyone ever puts coke with a nice malt. Then they deserve a good kicking

Ha ha, that's what they would probably get in one of my old locals in Leith

The same in Bellshill.

Wish I could find some good old Makers Mark here in bangkok... Now thats some FINE sipping whiskey!

Whiskey snobbery aside, 100 Pipers by the respectable old Scottish company Seagrams is around 280 baht a bottle.

No matter what price you pay - 120Baht to 1200Baht - it's still a bargain
