I don't buy from these guys.

Barracuda is much cheaper with better selection.

You can't get a bottle of Brandy for 15 chips at the Barracuda?

Oh yes you can!

You can get one for 10!

Its laughingly called 'Napoleon' and comes from Bangalore. OK for cooking just don't spill any on a polished surface as its like the blood of the creature form the Alien movies!

Best bargain is the Old Monk rum: 15Dhs a litre (12 for 75cl) and eminently drinkable with coke!

There is a whole section of Indian booze, all in recycled bottles and some as dodgy as hell...

I brought a fine example of South African viniculture if I recall! And subsequently it was a particularly fine Bordeaux...that a certain airline pilot latched onto and liberally imbibed prior to scaring the crap out of an Airbus full of visa changers bound for Muscat!

Nah..you brought Monk Juice, man. I brought the cheeky red and the finest 70 dirham port I could find for the host couple. The pilot wasnt there, I'm talking about the PREVIOUS soiree.

why are they arresting people for this? they should be focusing their time more on arresting reckless drivers and drug users. dont they know that alcohol is the water of life?

try Black Stallion, blended from the highest quality ingredients 2 bottles of 1 ltr. for 15 dhs. very drinkable for me :lol:

One assumes its a whisky, the opposite of White Horse?

Last trip, I picked up 1ltr of genuine single malt at the Barracuda...for 90dhs! Very fine it is too!
