Whisky Forum - Heathrow T5 Duty Free

GregBurnett · Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2020 7:02 am Post subject: Heathrow T5 Duty Free

I'll be travelling from Edinburgh to London and back again this weekend and I'm looking forward to the Duty Free at Heathrow.

Does anyone have any suggestions of bottles to look out for? I'm keen to spend some money as GTR has really been hit hard!

Don't know if they are still around as I haven't travelled this year really. But the Secret Speyside range from Chivas looked promising. Especially the Caperdonich, hopefully they are still sitting around next time I travel....

A friend told me they picked up a few bargains from World of Whiskies recently but I haven't been brave enough to travel myself and don't really have a good reason to so travel retail is out of my reach for the time being. I don't know if World Duty Free are keeping there website and whisky prices up to date but you may well find a bargain at the airport on the days you travel.

Ive been sold whisky with deliberately faked authenticity certificates from T5. Make sure you check any associated paperwork with the rare bottles. Cowboys in there, or in past. Awful customer service refusing to accept any wrong doing, got a refund in the end but what a stressful time knowing you're returning expensive whisky with them fake docs for it to likely be sold to someone else.

Great selection and tastings in there, sure I'd seen Glendronach single casks on promo this last week... happy hunting if on normal bottles, be sure to check thoroughly the ones behind locked doors.
