Some new South African Whiskies.
The Inventer
Single Cask Single Grain Whisky
Expertly distilled at the internationally awarded James Sedgwick Distillery, this single cask was so rare and limited that it was destined to be brought to life as a limited release by The Inventer.
It is made exclusively from premium quality South African maize. Once distilled, the spirit matured for a total of eight years in barrel. It spent three years in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask, then continued its journey in second and third-fill casks that rounded off this special whisky’s unique identity.
8 Years Matured
48,6% Alc
Limited Release of 270 bottles
Single Cask Single Malt Whisky
It was matured exclusively in an ex-bourbon cask for ten years. Here, the single malt embraced the subtle hues of the wood, allowing authentic flavours of the spirit to develop and emerge.
10 Years Matured
46,3% Alc
Limited Release of 240 bottles
Oloroso Single Cask Single Malt Whisky
Expertly distilled at the internationally awarded James Sedgwick Distillery, this single cask was so rare and limited that it was destined to be brought to life as a limited release by The Inventer.
The single malt spent its first five years in a third-fill ex-bourbon cask, after which it was racked to a seasoned oloroso cask for the final four years.
Sherry Cask Finish
9 Years Matured
51,6% Alc
Limited Release of 600 bottles

Not the biggest Loch Lomond fan but decent price considering it is R600-800 more everywhere else. Inchmurrin 18 for R999

Benriach 12 Triple Cask.
Edit: Macallan is overrated, If you want to try something Macallan esque give Glendronach 12 a try but if you want a step up from Glenmorangie, Benriach 12 is where it is. Otherwise you should try the Glenmorangie Lasanta or Quinta Ruban both are very good.
Agree, give the Benriach 12 or Quinta Ruban a try.

Or even this. It's blended, but they say it has some Macallan and Highland Park in there.
Very delicious easy drinker. R349 at Norman Goodfellows. The Benriach 12 Triple Cask is so good as well.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the Naked Malt when I tried it, definitely not bad however.

I dont know im a drinker and Ive tested between Johnnie Walker Blue 3K and First Watch R100 a bottle and no diff 
That's because Johnnie Blue is **** (honestly pretty much the entire Johnnie range is over-priced crap)I dont know im a drinker and Ive tested between Johnnie Walker Blue 3K and First Watch R100 a bottle and no diff
Johnnie Blue seems to vary quite a bit and honestly you can convince people almost anything is JW blue if you pour it from the bottle. Sadly people fall for marketing/status. JW Black, Double Black and Green are the sweet spot for JW. Green is the most unique of those, black is the most like Cardhu and double black has a bit more complexity.I dont know im a drinker and Ive tested between Johnnie Walker Blue 3K and First Watch R100 a bottle and no diff

the cheapest one (12yo?)
no, imo none of the Macallans are "worth it" as they are almost all overrated, some of the rare casks are quite interesting, but if you're spending that kinda money and you like Glenmorangie I'd go for the Glenmorangie Signet over similarly priced Macallans any day
No that's worse.
