It is a classic - i must try get myself one - i see Botegga has a special price on it

I had a Longrow at TOWS last year and it was amazing. It was on a non-descript bottle. It was some kind of mix of the leftovers of each year but it was sublime.

Bottega order delivered. Got a free bottle of Glenfiddich 12 as I was over of the first 5 orders of a Glenfiddich.

Bar fitted to the new house. Gonna need more shelves when I get my whisky back.

Where are the shelves?

Was expecting a wall to wall tiered shelf for optimal display

Massive!!!!!

Having said that that HP is a good dram
Was in Makro today. They had stock of Highland Park 10 for R539. Online sometimes you can find it for R499, but then shipping still so R539 is good. Was tempted...

I see they also dropped the Three Ships 10 (2006) gift set from R439 to R400. Good price for such a great Whisky.

Anyone looking for Three Ships Bourbon Cask. PnP Graanendal still has plenty stock still.

That 10yo set was also R400 in Jan this year. Very good deal and the glasses are pretty decent. Probably making space for the 2007 release which is apparently ready to go. No date but I guess it should be soon from the hints Andy has dropped.

Yes there's that Jack banana note but the Rye interplays nicely.

You just reminded me of something.

When I was in Matric, I didn't really drink (of course). I don't know we got onto the topic, but my older brother started telling me about how various things taste. And he said, Jack Daniels tastes like ice cream.

Intrigued, when I got to university, I ordered a shot of Jack Daniels, threw it down, and was disappointed to find out it doesn't really taste like ice cream.

You can still get the 15 yo Pinotage and 9 yo Fino directly from the Distillery. Can send you a contact.

Checkers Durbanville still had about 4 bottles of the 9 yo a week or so ago.

Got my 15yo & 8yo at Liquor City Claremont. Don't know if they still have but they can be full of surprises)

You won't find the 10yo PX Cask anywhere unless someone is willing to sell theirs :)

I'm still looking for the Bourbon Cask Finish, anyone know where I can find some?

@Quad, did you say you saw some in your neck of the woods?
