If that person has a taste for the finest single malt whisky, then Checkers LiquorShop House of Fine Whisky should be your first port of call this festive season. Exclusive to all Checkers LiquorShops nationwide, the House of Fine Whisky carries award-winning local Three Ships 5-Year-Old Whisky, international award-winning Jameson Irish Whiskey and premium favourites, such as Glenfiddich 12-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
But the serious connoisseur would be delighted to see a stocking weighed down with the exclusive Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso Single Malt Scotch Whisky or their newly acquired Nikka Blended Japanese Whisky. And to take the Checkers LiquorShop House of Fine Whisky offering from exceptional to superlative, they’ve travelled to the finest distilleries in Scotland to look for unique single malts and found three distinctive casks, which have been bottled under their Private Barrel Co. label. Only one cask of each whisky is selected, with every bottle produced from these casks sporting an individual number.
The end result? A limited release of Private Barrel Co. Benrinnes and Glenlossie 15-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskies. For those who have been on their absolute best behaviour this past year, there’s the Private Barrel Co. GlenDronach 20-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – available in December and exclusive to selected Checkers LiquorShops nationwide.
On the palate, GlenDronach is alive with the flavours of fine Oloroso Sherry and dark chocolate sauce, liberally spread over home-made date and prune pudding, and infused with notes of cinnamon and black pepper – it’s understandable that devout imbibers of this superlative dram might snub regular old Christmas cake. Hand-picked by Shoprite Checkers Group CEO, Whitey Basson, and Master Distiller, Billy Walker, this is the only time you’ll be able to get your hands on this bottle – and because it’s an exclusive release in very limited quantities, you’ll need to move quickly.
