Ok no idea why you'd grab one when Glendronach/Benriach 12 still exist but I actually liked the packaging on it? Weird.

Because I'm an idiot with money.

Also, I'm not a fan of Glendronach 12. For the price of the Macallan it might be best to just get the Glengoyne 18 and Glendronach 15.

Been reading up on the Glendronach, and seems the recent bottlings aren't as good? Also they have started chill filtering now, although not sure those ones have reached us yet

 

[dualmeister]

those bottles are all sold out.

I'm boycotting them due to that price.

Glengoyne 21 is around, saw one in an NGF lol.

Glenfarclas 21 is also around.

If you don't like Glendronach 12, that Macallan seems like a really bad buy .

I have a mate coming through OR Tambo duty free this afternoon.
Any suggestions what whiskey I can ask them to bring me, either a good price or a good duty free release around R 800

Hahahaha...so the GBP 400 predictions were spot on.

Decided to catch up on my samples and my Opens Decant stock.

The Mezcal is superb...

If you in the western cape, excellent price on the Inchmurrin 12 year - normal price is around R800. https://www.checkersfs.co.za/cfssto...EA/Inchmurrin 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky 750ml

 

[Mr Smooth]

Price is R670 for Gauteng.

Saw that, not sure if it is a mistake for western cape price. Or maybe they just trying to get rid of stock

Inchmurrin 18 going for R600 and the normal Loch Lomond 18 for R500 at a couple of Checkers Liquors in my area.

Nobody else really showing interest in them so I pick up a bottle every time I pop into one of the stores.

Had a friend arrive from Scotland today carrying gifts.

A Cragganmore 12, an Ardbrg Corryvreckan and 2 of these bad boys. Pretty chuffed.
