OMGD South Africa Whisky Tasting

Bailliage of Lowveld, South Africa
Dullstroom, November 19, 2022

At Wild about Whisky
" Log fires and a warm welcome set the perfect ambiance »

Bailliage members and their guests embarked upon a journey to Dullstroom, a small town on the Highveld plateau of Mpumalanga Province.

Driving through stunning countryside with views of beautiful evergreen valleys, trout fishing dams, and lush forest foliage whilst its ever-changing weather conditions met us with mist/fog and soft rain.

Log fires and a warm welcome set the perfect ambiance for a unique whisky-tasting experience at Wild About Whisky, South Africa’s best-stocked whisky bar.

Lovingly referred to by locals and regular weekend Dullstroom-dwellers, simply as “The Whisky Bar”, Wild-About-Whisky opened its doors in 2006 with around 12 whiskies. The menu was slowly built up to over 1,000 whiskies from all over the world to which more are continually added.

Four different whisky tastings were selected. They ranged from the “General Whisky Lover” starting with lighter whisky styles and a few peaty (smoky) whiskies to tease our tastebuds, before moving on to more specialised tastings of the “Super Premium Range” for those who really appreciate the art of whisky making.

As the sun set over Dullstroom, activities of the day were concluded with dinner at the well-renowned Mrs Simpsons restaurant and a sleepover in the Canyon Cottage on the Walkersons Private Estate - a haven of serenity in Mpumalanga where friendship and camaraderie continued into the night.
