Russethouse Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thanks - I think I'll just cross my fingers and hope they have it as its a £5/£6 saving on Waitrose.......we're on the overnight boat from Plymouth I hope they open the shop pronto as we dont sail until 10 pm and I like to get to bed as we'll be up early !

just john Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I bought mine at Tesco, Hendrick's Gin 70Cl - £23.97 (£34.25/l) always thought the ferries don't give good value, or clubcard points[:)]Tesco Product DetailsHandcrafted in time honoured tradition in small batches using an original 19th Century Gin still.No other Gin tastes like it because no other Gin is made like it. Hendrick's is made using the highest quality neutral grain spirit, eleven different botanicals, rose petals and most unusually cucumber.Distilled and bottled in Girvan, South West Scotland.Presented in a small Victorian apothecary style bottle with a cork stopper.It is not for everyone. Only available in selected off trade outlets and in the non trade at top end style bars.Double Gold Medal at the recent San Francisco World Spirit Competition.Wall St. Journal Gin of the year 2003.ABV: 41.4%.Other InformationServe as a Gin & Tonic over ice garnished with a cucumber slice !

JayJay Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 You should be OK, RH. Although I haven't used the ferry for a good coupla years, I seem to remember that the duty free was already open on boarding or very soon after. Have a good trip!

britgirl Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I recently travelled back from France, and the 'duty-free' shop didn't open until we had been sailing for 1/2 hour.I only wanted to buy a newspaper[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Isn't there a little shop for newspapers separately ?My own choice of Gin is Sipsmith, very nice indeed or Edinburgh Gin is nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britgirl Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think it depends which ferry you're on. Haven't travelled with BF for a few years.I last travelled with LD lines and everything (perfumes, confectionary etc) was in one shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
