Yep...mates of mine got the distribution for this in SA. It is amazing stuff. They're bringing the Schenk's Homestead releases, as well as the Bomberger's too.

Those are Michter's dialed up by a few 100...

 

[TheMightyQuin]

Opened this today: amazing stuff.

How close is Three Ships Bourbon Cask to a bourbon whiskey?

How close is Three Ships Bourbon Cask to a bourbon whiskey?

Has a hint of Bourbon, but far from being a "Bourbon".

I was about to buy a bourbon, but thought of trying that instead. It would need to be close though. Bain's is pretty 'bourbony'.

Not even close

The tonight’s selection. That RD One is a special one I lugged all the way from Boston. One of the most unique bourbon’s I’ve ever tasted.

3/4 or 3 to 4 bottles?

3/4 or 3 to 4 bottles?

Sorry 3-4 bottles.
Now another question I know at some stage we were
Limited to import 3 items per year. Previously it use to be a value limit .20k per year before you needed a permit. Would 3 bottels counts as 3 items or 1order thus 1Item?
