Our pick this week:

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Speyside Scotch Whisky

R729.99, Woolworths

Why we love it:

Glenlivet’s signature style is on full display this week at WCellar, with this 12-year-old single malt Speyside Scotch taking pride of place. Made in northeastern Scotland and matured first in European oak, then American, this classic single malt is all smooth vanilla, tropical fruit and that unmistakable pineapple kick. Bright on the nose, creamy on the finish – it’s an easy-drinking icon.
