It is on behalf of my old man and he just told me the 30y and 18y Glen's are gone. The rest is as in the attached file.

Sorry guys, I went through and got most of the stuff.

This is left

Seems like you can now get The Gauldrons (Remarkable malts series for Campbeltown from Douglas Laing) from Makro, was R769 at Cape Gate. It's well worth a shot if you are looking for something different, tried it at Wade Bales and was surprised and impressed, I'd never thought of even trying Campbeltown whiskies before this! For me I remember a brown sugar / boiled sweet richness to it that had me thinking about it for the whole evening...

As a fellow peathead, I would like to mention, and highly recommend, a possibly lesser known Whisky from Campbeltown: The Longrow range from the Springbank Distillery.

I have had the good fortune of owning...and finishing, a bottle of their Longrow 18yo Limited Edition.
One of the best peated Whiskies I have ever had, but unfortunately too expensive for me to buy another one.

I am considering trying the NA expression at a 3rd of the price, but am worried I'll come away disappointed.

Like I said....definitely worth while checking Campbeltown out. Springbank is awesome as well.

Nice summary of stuff available here:

Springbank and longrow are definitely on the list of things I want to try! Probably going to pick up an Islay for my Birthday though but who knows...

I grabbed another bottle of Lagavulin 16yo at Checkers this morning. Couldn't resist at that price.

My Longrow is finished but I still have a Springbank 15yo in the cupboard that I'll open this winter.
 
If you could find lagavulin at pnp on Saturday it would have come in under a grand. Their sale price was R1200 so less 25% on Saturday.
 
I stuck with 'cheapies' this whisky-buying weekend. I bought a Glenmo 10 at Tops for R389 on Friday. On Saturday, I picked up 2 bottles of Three Ships 5 (worked out to R127/bottle) and 2 Auchentoshan American Oak (R224/bottle - wish I bought more - I absolutely love this stuff which is my favourite cheap malt).

Bought these on the Sunday the 12th from Checkers and NGF(would have got the Glenmorangie 10 chair if I got it from PicknPay on 18th). Glenmorangie 10 and Lasantha to complete an old bottling collection that I'm collecting before the new branding. Rest of then to drink.

Got these from PicknPay on Saturday. Some to drink and some to gift for some birthdays coming up soon. R300 for the Glenfiddich and Glenmorangie 10 is a great deal. Already opened the Bowmore.

Very nice.

I added the Ardbeg 10yr and Auchentoshan American Oak Whisky to my collection thanks to P & P.

Both are great for different reasons. :)

The ardbeg 10 is delicious poured half a tot last night to enjoy whilst my flu is clearing up.

If you love the 10 then you have to try An Oa (if you haven't already).

I have just dipped my toes into the world of single malts and well whiskey altogether after trying a lagavulin 16 a few weeks back, bought myself the ardbeg 10 on a few recommendations last week

Now I'm eyeing way to many whiskeys!

Also looking at trying that and the uigeadail!

Wish it was easier to get sample taster bottles in SA though.

On a side note seems that I love PEAT! MMMM SMOKEY!
 
Hey guys will be in France in July/Aug and I see that France drinks the most scotch in the world. I also see they have distilleries there.

Glann Ar Mor Kornog Looks like what I am looking for.

Anyone tried this or have anything else to recommend that I should have a look at whilst specifically being there?
