A few of us got together on Saturday for a small session. Some interesting drams were drunk.

Noice!! What did you think of the Campbeltown Festival Release? I love that White Port Finish...

Springbank 10 is/was floating around in the market at the moment for R1250-R1450. Picked up 2 in the last 2 weeks. Also Makro was selling Glenmorangie Signet for R2115

750ml whiskey is equal to 82 liters of petrol in price. And people is complaining about petrol.

Ja well. Vat 69 is still a bargain

You can't buy a bottle of petrol and flip it with a 300% markup

Although that might happen soon

And PS, R2100 is a bargain as the current price averages R3200.

I also bought one of those Signets from Makro, was a very good price. The Springbank 10 does come up now and then, R1250 is the price it should be

And to think I was there and didn't drink anything. Fortunately the host has kept me a sample of the Arrrrrrrbeg!

Whisky tastes much better than petrol ( with exceptions of course) and a bottle also lasts much longer than 82l of petrol.

If you want to get really upset, go look at the cost of printer ink.

VAT69 is the Pope's private phone number.

Also it tastes like schit...

Ja I suspect someone screwed up on the pricing. Its the cheapest I have seen in years. Even at R2900 (if you shop around) it is selling way below the recommended retail of £200. Another bargain at Makro is the Glen Scotia Victoriana at R1599

Lekker will check them out. Ja Makro is free shipping so ends up the same. Except if you in Cape Town central.

I think so, see it listed on Makro again at R3200

Nevermind the Victoriana. The 18 year old is a steal. Good R1000 less than other outlets

It's delicious. Can't wait for it to land, will definitely be picking up a few bottles.

 

[TheMightyQuin]

Some new arrivals that I will be opening soon:

 

[dualmeister]

That’s the second bottle of Smoketrails after the first one was quaffed. I liked it, but I went though Heathrow so quick I didn’t have time to have a good look so just grabbed it.

Start saving for the next one.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

well damn ... couldn't let this opportunity pass on by!

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

and f-it, while we're at it, one of my old faithful guilty pleasures is on discount, and something I tried and liked at "the only whisky show" is priced ok-ish
