There are 6. Also Lowland and Islands. Each has a more "defined" flavour profile, but these days it's overlapping a bit, like peated whiskies coming from Speyside, etc.
Loved that Sazerac

I'm flying on Tuesday. I'll check for you.
Does anyone know of any other gems which are exclusively available at duty free? I seem to recall that Johnnie Walker Island Green was hard to get last time I looked.
Sorry haven't yet given a review
I had to have another couple last nite just to make sure!
Very very smooth. Much sweeter than the normal Jamesons, but not intrusive and not as sweet as the Buffalo Trace I also had. Had no idea what a Malaga barrel was until I googled -
"Once known as ‘mountain wine’ Malaga wine is a wonderfully unique sweet wine made predominantly from white Moscatel and Pedro Ximenez grapes"
Leaves the empty glass with a very distinct coconut flavour.
Forgot to add it is @ 40% ABV
I have a connection for Duty-free so pm me if you are in the Centurion area

Really curious re. the Teeling Plantation Rum Finish. I'm a huge Teeling fan as well as Plantation rum, so cannot wait.

Added the Island Green to my collection in Aug. A very nice addition. I use this as my "get my friends to like peaty whisky" before hitting them with an Ardbeg or LaphroigThere's lots there, in departures and arrivals.

Three Ships 7yo Moscato WB
Three Ships 7yo Moscato Cask Finish is the first of its kind release! A retail exclusive, selected by and bottled for WhiskyBrother. The peated single malt was matured for 5 years in refill casks and then spent the last 2 years in a Moscato cask (a fortified wine similar to Moscatel sherry)...
A local bottling from a local store, we'll have no trouble here.
OMW it sounds really interesting and 55.1% as well!Three Ships 7yo Moscato WB

No way I'm paying R890 for a South African Whisky.
Why not?
Single barrel at cask strength with an age statement ticks a number of boxes. Besides there is certainly nothing wrong with the quality of whisky coming out of JSD.
