Ardbeg An Oa. Will try another Makro during week.

Tops Village Square Durbanville. They have a great little Whiskey selection.

I actually bought a bottle of An Oa from Tops Village Square xD. I also quite like it, it's like a 10-lite and sometimes that's quite nice, still strong in its own right. I think people very quickly jump to Uigedail but An Oa at a good price isn't bad. I think I paid R770~ for An Oa, if it were 54.2% it would have cost R896~ so almost as much as Uigedail but Ardbeg core range is just too close (but Corry's pricing makes it a bit harder to want)...Also Wee Beastie coming soon allegedly, at about R600.

I Just haven't been there for a while now. Makro stock is quite low all over CPT, apparently Ottery was the best stocked but not sure on Ardbeg stock...

Lagavulin 16 is something I've also been considering, but will probably have to again put on the back burner for now due to quite a bit of whisky expenditure this month...

Yeah Tops Village Square has all of them in the window. Also the Oban 14.

Yeah, also placed a beer order with TA this weekend, only a case so not a biggie. Whisky situation is fine :thumbsup:
I have enough booze for a year...but I don't want my orders lying in customs literally indefinitely.

The chances of it disappearing just becomes bigger and bigger...

It should be safe with DHL, but not with customs. I wonder where they will be storing it?
