Have you guys seen Buffalo Trace anywhere? All my local places don't have any stock.

Checkers usually has it.

So does Bottega - https://bottegawhiskey.com/product/buffalo-trace/

We are actually very lucky to get Buffalo Trace for about R330 ($20). From what I have seen online the guys in the US get all excited when they do manage to get stock and at "only" $45 to $50

Phoned 3 Checkers near me and none have stock. See Bottega have 6 in stock

Get a refund...Liquorshop keeps selling stuff they do not have. I am fighting with them for my refund for 2 bottles of PBC Ben Nevis.

The chances are you'll never see that RB 15yo

I see they still showing the Ben Nevis as in stock https://www.liquorshop.co.za/liquorshop/en/ZAR/product/10507037EA/Ben Nevis 19 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottle 750ml haha. Unless they conveniently found some more

I haven't seen any Buffelo on shelves recently either.
Was in two Checkers, two Tops and a PnP since Monday.

Grab from Bottega....just a pity about the shipping. But if it's becoming rare, you should grab it. Could be going the same route as Hibiki and Blanton's.

See you can't find Blantons at the mo either. The shipping is what has put me off buying as well

Should be sorted for a while
