There's maybe €2.50 in duty and another 2% on the whole price since then - the rest of the price inflation is due to currency rates and in some cases supply pressure although that's easing now.

The loss-leader prices (which the €16 was) haven't been hit that badly but unfortunately its the regular prices on medium range stuff that have been hammered. A €30 blended branded Scotch is now over €40 easily, maybe €35 on offer when it was maybe €28 on offer 5 years ago.

Currency rates? Jameson gets made here.

All these products are price based in dollars - and I wasn't solely talking about Jameson either.

Ireland is a very small sales market.
