So how do these events work. 3 copper coupons gets you 3 samplers? If you want to sample more you have to buy more copper vouchers?

I'm trying to get a crew together, looks like a good night out.

This is in JHB, no? I'm in CT.....what a pity!

Tickets booked for the 27th (Phuza Thursday). I will be there with 5 compadres

The ticket price buys you:

A branded Glencairn glass
Two bottles of water
R10 off the purchase of food
R50 off any whisky retail purchase over R300
As much whisky as you can (responsibly) drink
Three Copper Coupons

Luckily we had the Wade & Bales festival, which was awesome. And I have a Glenmorangie tasting to look forward to with Aficionados. So we all get something...

Douglas Liang has come out with some interesting bottlings recently, will try them soon. Is that the glass that came with the Teeling Small Batch?

and my new additions:

My current stock:

Wow nice collection there, what's your staple drink there, must be the Glenmorangie?

 

[hellfire]

That sounds awful to be honest.

It must be similar to sherry/madeira cask?

They are all pretty decent, but I have a soft spot for The Singleton.
Also managed to get the 'Tailfire' variant.

This has probably been raised here before but what are your best budget whiskey's( under R200 ) ?

I've just settled on Scottish Leader after drinking JW Red for a while. Hankey Bannister is also good. Any suggestions?

VAT 69. Best value whisky in the country and better than any other sub R200 whisky imho.

My goto cheap dram used to be Ballantines. But to be fair, for just a 100 bux more, you can get yourself really good stuff like Private Label 12 year old single malt for R279 or even the Loch Lomond Reserve @ R269

^these are now my goto's. Not under 200 but not far off ..

 

[flarkit]

Grant's or Vat 69 IMO

This!

Jip, definitely the 5yo from Three Ships. Currently going for only R139 @ Checkers.

Erm, ok, apart from this...

Three ships 5yo

... although it is a bit more expensive
