And that makes it about as Authentic as my genuine fake rolex.

As if the Thai equivalent of The Advertising Standards Office could or would be bothered to do anything about fake goods

Reading the small print...

Must be the real deal then 5555555555 ... labels printed n attached in ???????????????

Neither on the bottle nor on the box i could find such small print. On the back of the bottle one can read <<SOLE DISTRIBUTOR FOR THAILAND: DIAGEO MOET HENNESSY THAILAND LTD>> followed by their Bkk address. I doubt very much that DIAGEO would allow fake to be sold under their brand name.
Have a nice day.

"I doubt very much that DIAGEO would allow fake to be sold under their brand name." VERY VERY TRUE =D>

Nor would Adidas or Rolex or Coco Chanel or any other leading brand name, so that proves without a doubt the rolex I got on Sukhumvit is genuine

tam, hic, I shrink you mus tav put too much Bells in the mince pie mix again mate hic

BTW, have Bells changed their label, I can't remember it ever having a Union flag on it when I was in UK.

Couldn't possibly be a special blend made for the Export Only (Asian) market could it?

This Xmas dinner i made Whiskey Margarita using the BELL s .. Whiskey, orange juice, lemon juice, strawberries, simple syrup ( made with 1/2 water 1/2 maple syrup ) and ice. They love it .. The taste was fantastic, the last time i had such a good Margarita was in LA.

If you are going to murder a whisky with that lot you might as well have used Hong Thong .... HEATHEN

Just try it ... You might change your mind. Do it for your Ladies.
Yes if i want MIZUWARI i would go for a good Japanese whiskey, better than Scotch.

"Just try it ... You might change your mind. Do it for your Ladies."

Sure there's a few Katoeys who'd enjoy it as well as just "Ladies" ........ sounds like the sort of concoction that I use to make for my Aunties & Gannies at Xmas when I was a pre teen ...... along with the egg nog

Great welcome to the 21st century.. Have a great holiday season

Just checked what's written on the bottle. "Distilled,Blended & Bottled in Scotland"!

Save you the bother Jon, you really should know by now not to believe everything your mates tell you.
I can tell you, it is the original stuff, distilled , brewed and bottled in Scotland and signed" Afore you go"all moulded in the glass bottle, in short exactly the same as you would buy in the UK or anywhere else in the world for that matter, all that has changed is the label on the front, which was specially chosen to emphasise it's British(Scottish) origins, and is used on all it's exported production.In my poorer days back home, before I could afford the single malts, it was a regular sip for me along with Teachers, which is a similar blend, unfortunately with the current exchange rate, those days have returned and I am drinking it again, so I am glad to see those prices and I can assure potential drinkers it is as good or bad, depending on your individual taste buds as that served back home .
The owner of the Bell's brand is Diego, they purchased it a few years back and it is imported into Thailand by the combined group Diago Moet Hennessy which is clearly stated on the label of each bottle. I understand from my communication with them, yes I did have my doubts originally,that the price is an introductory promotion, combined with several music concerts in Bangkok to introduce the product to a younger generation of potential drinkers for a limited but not confirmed period and will return to a market price at the end .So best to do as I've done, stock up now. For info: all the major supermarkets are participating in the deal, locally Tops ,Tesco, Big C and Villa have it in stock, even half bottles @199bht, hardly more than an imported pint.

saw bells yesterday at the liquor shop at the corner on thanon posi , 325(345?) baht...

And the reply from the company ...

Bell’s Scotch whisky has almost 200 years of proud Scottish history and its Scottish provenance and heritage are integral to the brand’s identity.

Scotch whisky is famous around the world for being Scottish and every variant of the Bell’s brand is clearly branded as Scotch whisky, made in Scotland. This particular variant was developed for specific emerging export markets where in-depth consumer research found that, allied with the traditional Scottish associations, British provenance also has positive appeal because of the international reputation of British heritage brands for quality and style. It is available in South America, Asia, Russia and Poland.

Combining the best of Scottish and British heritage has been hugely successful for Bell’s in the developing markets where this variant has been introduced, proving highly popular with consumers and driving rapid growth in sales since it was launched in 2014.
