The prices start R34,999 with the Johnnie Walker blue label baccarat cask with the mothership being the Royal Salute at a cool R2,000,000. This bottle has been decorated using over 400 black and white diamonds. For even more information on insanely rare and exclusive whiskies, we&#8217;ve added a very cool infographic below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If do you have a taste for the rare and expensive, you should head over to the Makro website, where you are able to purchase <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makro.co.za\/liquor\/whisky-LAH\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>the most exclusive whiskies in South Africa<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Makro-Infographic-31.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39916\" alt=\"Exclusive Whiskies in South Africa\" src=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Makro-Infographic-31.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"3262\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whisky has a rich history with its roots in Italy where the earliest records of the distillation of alcohol can be found.
