He only works with wood.

Sorry I didn't realize you need industrial level storage....:laugh::laugh:

That shelf looks like a real barman's shelf...a beautiful and eclectic mixture of spirits and other quaffable stuff.

I could get really drunk there...

For the amount of bottles I have I do need industrial level. Also, wood does not feature in the style that I like.

Sazerac Rye gets my vote, you won't regret it. The cheaper option would be the Buffalo Trace.

FYI that retail price is highly overstated....but still a reasonable deal.

The usual SA prices for the Caol Ila has always been around R2000, possibly cheaper on MOM. I always wanted a bottle since the 2016 release.

Wow, bargain indeed !! That definitely makes it worth it.

Yup, I don't have a FNB account but I've signed up for ebucks. If my family purchases from any place that rewards ebucks then they enter in my ID, I collect around R1500 a year this way. Mostly get points from Dischem, Takealot and Makro.

If I lived close enough, this is a Whisky Brother tasting I would NOT miss:

This is probably going to be quite the experience. Unfortunately far beyond what I am capable of spending but I look forward to hearing about how it was from those that do attend.

Highly recommend Sazerac and Bulleit. If you willing on spending a bit extra Blanton's gold is good but suggest you try before you buy on that one :thumbsup:
 
Allo all! Seems That even though I love my smoky Islays (Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Laphroig) I seem to like pretty much most of the whiskeys.

This week I added JW Island Green (really yummy) and Nikka from the barrel (also super enjoyed).

I am now toying with where to next. I don't have any Irish whisky at all but I do have buffalo trace and like that (next sentence explains why I mentioned that).

So I am torn. Do I go Rye next or Irish??? As I just dropped a little more than expected I don't really want to do more than R500-R600 at this stage any recommendations in this range and also Rye or Irish next? Thanks all as always!

Have you tried Campbeltown? Springbank 10/Kilkerran 12/Glen Scotia Double Cask are worth exploring.

Edit: Loved Red Breast 12 when I tried it, didn't like Green Spot, Am I odd?

The only thing I dislike is that I cannot see how full/empty the bottle is.
