@ R1600.... a little bit pricey for my pocket :/

Sorry but won't pay that for an SA Whiskey. A good brandy on the other hand though ....

Where did you get it from???

Birmingham airport. Seems to be on par with ZA pricing though so you should be able to get same anywhere. Its just unusually cheap for my side of the world (I'd normal pay 800).

Here is same thing but with glasses ZA side for 6 zar more:

What do you guys think of the Double Black?

I personally find that the smokey taste is completely overpowering. Not a fan at all.

So buttery, so rich and syrupy, it's practically a liqueur

Haven't tried it now. Will see a bit later today. Last time I bought it I vaguely recall it being smokey but nice. I'm sure it'll do for a regular tipple either way.

Reluctant to spend more that that though...starting to notice that I hit diminishing returns pretty soon with my peasant palate. The last one (Isle of Skye ~1k) was about double as expensive & didn't exactly blow me away.

The Clan Deney Islay is not bad but the Speyside is quite rough when it's neat. Never heard of Dunadd, where did the club get it from?

Is there such a thing as a good sipping whiskey for under R200?
or R300?
