Distilled Liquors[edit]

All prices, unless otherwise noted, are for a case of eight 350ml bottles, boxes or bags.

  • Wholesale Price/Case: The price one will pay at the distillery. This price may vary; during bad harvests, a vintage may be in shorter supply, and get "bid up" at, in effect, auction.
  • Caledon Retain Price/Case: This is the average fetching price for a case in the Caledon system. This is an average; worlds with higher law levels will add 20-30% in taxes
  • Trade Route Retail Price / Case: This is the average price of a case in human states outside the Principality. This varies; if three ships loaded with whisky arrive simultaneoulsy, the glut will lower prices. On the other hand, if whisky's in short supply, the price will rise. And on systems that, for whatever reason, prohibit alcohol, the "black market" price can double (with commensurate rises in danger)
  • Imperial Fetching Price/Case: This is the price one can get from discerning whisky drinkers in the Imperium. Markets without discerning whisky drinkers and markets for premium liquor will be as the Trade Route retail price. The price will also vary with the supply available in an y given Imperial system.
Brand Distiller Notes Wholesale Price/Case Caledon Retail Price/Case Trade Route Retail Price/Case Imperial Fetching Price/Case
Lochloar (30 year old) Lochloar/Dunbarton An extremely traditional single-malt whisky, Lochloar is a mass-market brand, but a highly-regarded one CR600/case CR850/case CR1400/case CR1750/case
Glynroadlough (30 year old) Baird and Stoat, Stirling Another mass-market brand, generally regarded as quite drinkable, but slightly less tony than Lochloar. CR520/case CR800/case CR1200/case CR1600/case
MacGarvey (30 year old) Glasgow and MacGlennie/Stirling Although beverage mega-brewer Glasgow and MacGlennie makes many varieties of whisky, beer and other beverages, Glynroadlough is its "prestige" brand. Brewed using techniques unchanged in thousands of years, but refined to perfection by G&M's teams of chemical engineers. CR650/case CR925/case CR1700/case CR1950/case
Old Kilt (5 Year Old) Glasgow and MacGlennie/Stirling The opposite of the hand-crafted MacGarvey, Old Kilt is the commercial mainstay and "low end" of the G&M product line. Billions of bottles of OK are produced at G&M distilleries on Dunbarton, Rob Roy and Cuillin every year, and consumed by the case at Clan games, sporting events and parties. While it's quite obviously not of the same quality as a more expensive whisky, it's not bad, either - making it a fairly high-profit cargo CR80/case CR120/case CR130/case CR180/case
Pardoe & Carrickmourghain (40+ year old) P&C/Caledon The distillery went out of business 20 years ago - so bottles of this legendary brand are unobtainable. P&C is more a collector's item than a beverage NA CR8000 CR12000/case CR24000/Case
Braithlough (40 year old) Braithlough/Caledon An exceedlingly traditional brand from rural Caledon CR1800/case CR2500/case CR3000/case CR4000/case
Venkat (12 year old) Gandhi and Sons (Dunbarton) An iconoclastic brand, made from a variety of non-traditional grains using unorthodox methods, for a new whisky experience, Venkat has gradually grown beyond "novelty" status. CR240/case CR400/case CR450/case CR600/case
