How low does 1792 Small Batch go?

If 1792 Small Batch is a regular in your rotation, this is the week to notice. It's **$83 for members** at Dan Murphy's right now. It usually sells around **$86**, and across what we've seen it's ranged from $78 to $90. So this isn't a wild swing. It's a few dollars under the number you're used to, sitting near the low end of its own spread.

Put plainly: at $83 for members against a usual $86, this is about as low as we've seen it. Not a drama, not an alarm. Just a quiet floor under a bottle that doesn't often dip.

Here's a second way to weigh it. Ask the drinkers of the bottles sitting closest to 1792 what they'd pay for it, each starting from what they already hand over for their own, and the answers land between $67 and $87. At $83 for members, this week's price sits inside that band. Every one of those drinkers who shares its flavours puts 1792 at nine-tenths or more of what their own bottle is worth to them. So whichever side of it you're coming from, $83 reads as fair money to the people who'd know.
