Whisk(e)y Lovers thread(II)

[heartbroken]

Bought a bottle of the Glen Moray Peated almost a year ago and still haven't opened it. Maybe must give it a try

Save yourself the effort and throw it away now. I am a massive peat head, but that is thrash. One of only 2 whiskies I ever poured into the flowerbed.

That's kind of what I thought, and why I haven't opened it. Will leave it for now

Holy ****....both the Rum Rebel and the Sherry Bomb is exceptional. When I think what I went through a year or so ago to get this stuff here...and now it's on the shelves.

If you could choose just one of them which one would it be?

Any good budget peated (meaning under R300) blends for everyday sipping. I'm a peathead too and know you will never get close to true Islays when you look at chrap blends. Still looking for a cheap blend to compete with Three Ships 5

Rum Rebel...without a doubt.

Get a bottle of Naked Grouse. Best value for under R500 imo. Combo of Macallan, Highland Park and Glenturret.

I have seen it around for R300 per bottle on some PnP specials. Currently R335 (and in stock) at WAW.

Naked Grouse

Brand: Famous Grouse Category: Whisky Type: Blended Malt Region: Scotland Alcohol: 43% alc/vol An interesting addition to the Famous Grouse range, this was aged in first fill sherry casks, and is based around malt whisky from Highland Park and Macallan. Very simply, this is a superb...

I bought one because they said they were rebranding to Naked "Barrel" and I wanted to have the old bottle. And now still no sign of the Naked Barrel......lol

They rebranded to Naked Malt, not Naked Barrel, that is the new bottle with the barrel. The Naked Grouse had a grouse on it

Just as long as the juice inside the bottle is as good

Where?

Edit:
See it is on Whisky Exchange, assume not locally yet

 

[Quad Pipe]

Birthday spoils thanks to generous family and friends who bought me WhiskyBrother vouchers.

 

[Pieter Loose Goose]

Good price on Highland Park 10 on Takealot. Also see ACA Liquors magically disappeared on Takealot, so no more alcohol ban prices, hahahaha

 

[Rah_Skill]

Mysterious new vendor called Shop King has taken their place. Not as exorbitant but still blatant ripoff.

 

[BartSimpson]

If you could choose just one of them which one would it be?

Rum Rebel too.

 

[DramBuddy]

Not something you expect to see at your local Tops.

Some good prices in JHB

A very successful and satisfying sample swap took place today. 600ml of excellent Whisky to taste over the next couple of weeks.

Wow I don't know what to say, I've never found someone who doesn't like this? Even people who dislike peat tend to go 'oh this is actually nice'.

I mean I've tasted over 400 whiskies and Glen Moray Peated is in my top 150 of those.

@ands45 if you genuinely don't like it, I'll buy it off you.
