Yeah it was R679~ at Durbanville Village Square Tops, still tempted to pick up a Kilkerran 12 from them as a blind buy. I find it very similar to Port Charlotte Scottish Barley which you can get for R800 from Checkers. I wouldn't say I have a preference over the two though. The Longrow is a tad saltier.
Longrow is technically peated to Ardbeg levels at around 50-55 PPM I believe.
Edit: Price is 679, 659 for Hazelburn 10.

I also saw this at a brand new Tops close to me a few days ago...couldn't believe my eyes. Amazing dram.
My 10yo is almost done. Really enjoying it.

The Kilkerran 12 is fantastic. You won't be disappointed.
It seems so. I just picked up a litre duty free in CT for R439.

Two of my favorite distilleries...and that Talisker got huge praise and write ups...would have loved to get my hands on one of those.Picked these up in Dubai this morning, can't wait to taste them!
The Oban is very good as well. 2 of the 4 good ones in this range...the other being the Lagavulin and the Royal Lochnagar.
You did well indeed !!

Opened this one today....and it's amazing. Campbeltown does it again!
I see it's received excellent reviews on MOM as well, another one to add to my list for tasting/purchase.

I tried both - the Oban is good, but for some reason I prefer the Talisker.
The Oban was 252 AED, while the Talisker was just 162AED
