Swung by a local checkers liquor. No sign of the black bottle special. So region / store specific?

I saw it yesterday at a checkers close to cape gate

Tried some Chivas Regal again. The stuff in my decanter must have been another Scotch. Chivas is not bad, slight smokey taste (I hate the smoke).

What would you compare this to? Think I should buy a bottle

I've only had it once so I'm not sure what I'd compare it too, but it was pretty easy going, no smoke or peat.

Reviews on MoM are pretty good: https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/glenkinchie-12-year-old-whisky

Thanks, just read that. Think I will go for a bottle.

Glenmorangie Milsean

Glenmorangie Milsean (Scots Gaelic for ‘sweet things’ and pronounced ‘meel-shawn’) is a single malt whisky full of intense candied fruit flavours and mouth-watering sweetness. It has been created from Glenmorangie matured in ex-bourbon casks and then extra-matured in former wine casks, re-toasted for the purpose. This distinctive cask preparation replicates something of the moreish sweetshop flavours in a single malt whisky.

It is the seventh annual release in our multi-award-winning and always intriguing Private Edition range. And Glenmorangie Milsean, with its remarkable sweetshop allusions, may be the most intriguing of them all.

Aroma: Perfumed, sweet and spicy with hints of sugar cane, ripe fruits, sherbet lemons and fudge

Taste: A sweet, luscious candy-like flavour followed by a mix of tart plummy fruit, candied orange peel, cherries, and angelica.

Finish: Long and spicy, but always with a sweetness in the background, with flavours of ginger, brown sugar, sweet tobacco and cake mix.

Someone mentioned they bought a bottle at a duty free shop a couple months back. Think they tasted it at a friend and enjoyed it.

The discounted price is close to the actual price but seems to be a little cheaper. The non-discounted price is quite inflated.

I haven't tried it so I can't comment.

I'd always do a sanity check against Aficionado's or Makro. R1200 at Aficionado's so bit of a Takealot daily deal move there

Going to be trying the Bunnahabhain 12yo this weekend, Have had (and thoroughly enjoyed) the 18yo. Anyone here tried the 12? How does it compare?

The 12 is good but you can't compare it to the 18. The 18 is excellent much better than the 25 year old imho.

Enjoyed the 12 but you are so right, the 18 is years ahead (no pun intended). The 12 does make a nice *occasional drink*

I tried the Bunnahabhain Eirigh Na Greine at the Wade Bales Wine and Whisky Affair, what an amazing whisky. I'm waiting for someone to come through duty-free to get me a bottle. U should try it if you get a chance.

You guys found any decent decanters?

I quite like this one - but is Yuppiechef too expensive?
Anywhere else I should look?
