Hi there guys!

I’m looking at getting myself a decent bottle of whiskey(I almost exclusively drink Jameson when I’m at home, by myself) and I’m looking into buying myself something else. I’m not a big fan of Scotch as I like whiskey that are little on the lighter, sweeter, floral/spicy/citrusy side of things.

I have been looking at getting Bushmills Black Bush - I have had it before and I enjoyed it, it’s very buttery/caramel tasting.

What would you guys suggest?

I have a price limit - let’s say about R450 as it’s just for me, no one else at home touches my drink.

I have had this a few times, it’s lovely.

I’m looking at Bulleit as a first time buy

It's good. Just do it!

not sure exactly when it happened between yesterday when I checked and minutes ago when I checked again, but takealot is now accepting liquor orders again

whisky selection is a very small subset of their usual range by the looks of it, hopefully gets restored to its former glory soon

maybe makro joins the party on Monday finally?

also curious, it better be damn good if it is made from 100% South African maize and column distilled, yet more than twice the price of Bain's which can make the exact same claims

I'll get it from MoM then...

There's a few of us who will be doing group buys from MoM,as well, obviously keeping an eye on the local situation.

Makro is taking online orders also very limited options.

Can't seem to order anything, checked all the limited options specifically listed under https://www.makro.co.za/liquor-level3

instead of the usual "add to cart" button there is either a "no stock" or "Not currently available" message:

Try adding to list, then add to cart and checkout .... I think that not currently available is for in store .. I could be wrong.
