Yup, that's it
It's best to buy it at Duty Free in Frankfurt or Dubai, it's slightly cheaper.

Definitely deserves it! I've been going through an Irish phase the last few months, and plain old Tullamore is tops in that price category for me too. It's now my go to end-of-the-month option.

Lately, my local has been stocking Redbreast. Bit pricey and don't know how it will stack up against single malt scotches in that price range. Anybody?

Absolutely. For under R300 my go to is a plain old Tullamore Dew blend. Sometimes Bushmills.
