After the previous Wine & Malt Whisky Affairs set in Cape Town and Joburg earlier this year, it’s finally Durban’s time to shine! This annual experience is 3-years-running and will be hosted at Durban’s sophisticated world class jazz bar, The Chairman.

Much like the events earlier this year, the affair delivers the ultimate in indulgence, showcasing sought-after, limited release wines and rare malt whiskies from around the world, bringing together people who enjoy the finer things in life.

“Staying true to our previous events, we have handpicked a selection of interesting and distinctive wines and whiskies, which are all available for tasting. What makes this event unique is not only the range of premium products but also the calibre of the passionate and knowledgeable people who present them.”

- Wade Bales, well-known wine and spirits matchmaker.

Featured brands will include:

  • Avondale Navitas 2009 — Flagship red of Avondale’s premium collection (Robert Parker 95/100)
  • Saxenburg SSS 2009 Special Release — the Saxenburg, Shiraz Select has always been a statement wine (the maiden vintage 1998 was briefly the most expensive in the country).
  • Bruichladdich Black Art — 4th Release of a unique and pioneering cult cask exploration series.
  • The Macallan Rare Cask––Crafted to showcase complexity and depth, Rare Cask is drawn from broadest spectrum of casks, 16 different types making it a limited and very rare whisky.
  • Midleton Premium Irish Whiskey––Each vintage differs, and is only released in very limited quantities, with each bottle individually numbered and signed by the Master Distiller.

Tasting & Buying

Over and above the whiskies available to taste, there will be a Half-time Bell mid-way through the evening, signalling “Under the Table,” where for a limited period of 15 minutes, guests will have the opportunity to taste incredibly rare and limited editions of wine and whisky. Listen out!
