I really hope all goes well and keep us posted. At least you have already received a DHL notification which means your stuff is on it's way, so I doubt there'll be any issues.

Pitty as I already had a second item in my basket at MOM that I was really looking forward to :(

Plenty of local shops have the standard Hedonism? o_O Or are you after one of the special releases?

Ha, I wish Hedonism was only 30 pounds!

Hedonism is a shop in London:

Buy Fine Wine and Spirits Online

Explore the widest collection of fine wines and spirits at Hedonism Wines. Over 6,000 wines and 3,000 spirits with free UK delivery over £200 or 6 bottles
hedonism.co.uk hedonism.co.uk

I was thinking of getting the Myths & Legends set from there (hence wondering the customs cost vs Whisky Brother)

Remember too that the WB set are 750ml bottles. Three months ago you could have bought a set for a shade over R7k. I know a member here found some bottles of M&L at a north CT TOPS. Maybe he can update what was there and at what prices.

@Luben can also advise if his JHB supplier has stock of M&L.

Myths I and II were available nearby me in CPT for R 2650. Not sure if someone's bought them. I also think there's a set in JHB somewhere probably around R2800~ per bottle, also not sure if they were bought.

R2650 each?

Out of interest which shop was it? Perhaps I can arrange someone to collect it for me.

My following collection pales in comparison ( @Luben & @BartSimpson ), Oh AND @Quad of course!! ....but I am still reasonably chuffed with this start. Please note: The RB bottle on the far right does NOT contain the real stuff, but rather is my Infinity Bottle containing Campbeltown. I just love the bottle!

Is this a new release? I didn't see it coming...
From WB website:

A single cask release selected by and bottled exclusively for WhiskyBrother.

We are very proud to present our second Three Ships single cask, exclusive release, in collaboration with Andy Watts and his award-winning team at the distillery! Distilled in 2011, this peated single malt was initially matured for 3 years in American oak before being re-racked into a Pedro Ximénez cask for a further six years and bottled in 2020. Only 546 bottles were produced, each individually numbered. Bottled at a cask strength of 63.7%.
