Thanks. The catalogue is not online as yet so I might drive through to a store tomorrow.

Will also take advantage of the specials.
Great

Thanks. I'm also keen to pop in at checkers

Take note of the tasting timetable for Loch Lomond at the Checkers stores

So why only one bottle of single malt on a Single malt promotion pamphlet?

Good question. Probably to appeal to the general target audience? Most people won't know what a single malt whisk(e)y is I guess.

I've asked flatmate to pick me up a bottle of Glen Grant since I will be on the farm this weekend and far from a Checkers

Thanks, I will be picking up some bottles at Checkers, I just need to check what Single Malts they have in stock.

Last time I bought Monkey Shoulder it was still R289 at Makro.

Damn inflation / sin taxes / government.

nice,

I think now's a good time to try a few of the malts talked about in this forum

 

[morkhans]

I got a little carried away. Laphroaig 10yo, Talisker 10yo and for a wild card Glen Scotia Double Cask.

Will be squirrelling them away for a special occasion

Wait! Those prices are before the 20% discount?
Some of the are great just like they are on the pamphlet.

The prices on there as I understand it already include the discount. When I bought the single malts they still had the full price listed on the shelf, but the 20% went off automatically at the till.

Ok would make sense but I was asking because of this post:

R336 is 20% of R419 as advertised.
