I thought, 'oooh, nice site'. First 2 prices I checked are cheaper in my local Checkers by R5 for Jack D, and R20 for Chivas.

Not sure how they will make money if you have to wait for a dop and it's more expensive.

Whats the price for a bottle?

Haven't checked bottle prices yet. Was having shots of it while on holiday in Cape Town.

Well, I went a huntin' today... and could not find a single bottle of Wild Turkey 101.

Consoled myself with;

Wild Turkey 101 is that American too? Don't know it. Any good?

I had Black and White tonight. Not quite my favourite plonk anymore, but nice for something different.

You win! I'm sipping on a R80 odd bottle of First Watch

 

[srothman]

Could have been worse. Could have been forced to drink rum

 

[satanboy]

/Just finished another bottle of Jameson...

hic

it gets sweeter each time I drink it...

 

[srothman]

I have to admit, earlier this week I had some Jamies for the first time in about 6 months, and it was exceptional!

 

[midnightcaller]

I had some Jameson last night.
Best is straight up. No ice no water.

Still very smooth.

 

[dualmeister]

Killed my bottle of Singleton.

Not as nice as I remember it to be :wtf:

I know it's by no means the most "socially acceptable" way of enjoying this luxury, but I have often, (especially on the warmer days) placed a bottle straight into the fridge and served it ice cold without having to add ice. Quite refreshing, and I found the cold sometimes dampens the "bite" associated with the more every day (read el-cheapo) brands.

Oh, and Appletiser makes for a great mix on some brands, thinking specifically Johnnie Red here.

"Tarnishing" the more premium brands is sacrilege, but hey, who said we can't experiment!!

Girlfriend has a bottle of Talisker. Yussus that stuff is lovely!

 

[srothman]

Lovely one that! I've had the 10 y/o SM on occasion, and it was very nice indeed.
Quite a spicy palate, and found it goes bloody well a nice salty piece of fish and roasted vegetables. It's one of those that actually plays well with a meal instead of having to coddle it on it's own.

Still have a 1ltr bottle I bought at Duty Free shop while traveling. Cost less than a 750ml bottle.

Just don't drink too much. That stuff is potent
