Any good?

Both the tequila and stout casks are very good. Can also be found online around the R800 price range if you look around or wait for a special

These new Checkers releases are a good bang for buck. R399 and R499.

Most of the way though a bottle of 104 no hard hitting flavours but a very nice 46% drink, I'd even say very well priced at 399.
Not sure if there is a better purchase is that range.
Jameson regular or chivas are not even competition they seem harsher.
Haven't had a proper look at a bottle store in a few months.

Not bad for the price.

The new Checkers single malts are on special this week. Great value whiskies.

I had this in Edinburgh and loved it.

Bought a bottle today at Checkers and it is still great.

Hey guys,

I’ve had this sealed bottle of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select sitting in my cupboard for a while, and I'm thinking of selling it.

The wooden neck tag says it's the "SA Ambassador '17 Ed. FBR" from a barrel called "Mbizi" (bottle 265/300, bottled back in 2017).

I've attached some photos of the bottle, box, and tags.

Does anyone here have an idea of what this might actually be worth to a collector? Also, since standard platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree ban alcohol sales, where is the best place to safely (and legally) sell a bottle like this in SA?

Any advice or leads would be highly appreciated!

Cheers!

There is a Facebook group in SA, I'd start there.
