South Africa - not a country some may readily

see as a great whisky nation... but, Angels

now has a column from SA and we hope it

will introduce you to some new whiskies.  Our

columnist is Marc Pendlebury, of whisky

 brother.

"I’ve been drinking Whisky since my teens, but it’s only been in the last 5-6 years that my interest has grown and turned into a no-nonsense, games-aside, passion. If the word addict didn’t have negative connotations I would use it to describe my approach to whisky, but the truth is it is an interest that I pursue with zest and it consumes much of my free time. I actively seek out whiskies I haven’t tried, I read the latest news from industry folk, distilleries and fellow bloggers, purchase new whiskies online, swap samples, plan trips to whisky destinations, et cetera. You get the point. This is not a way for me to make money, or set myself up for a gig in the industry. I have a full-time job, this blog is an extension of my passion and interest in whisky. Its just another way to spend more of my energy on whisky, but with the intentions of sharing the fruits of my labour and engaging with like-minded individuals. Whisky, and the people I drink it with, provide me with endless enjoyment, and hopefully, I can share some of this with you". Cheers and Slainte, Marc.

South Africa is one of the world's top destinations for intrepid travellers to discover everything they're looking for... and more. With over 21 National Parks, eight World Heritage Sites, 3,500 kilometres of pristine coastline, a phenomenal climate and awesome adventures ranging from shark-diving to surfing, historic trails to wine tasting, South Africa is guaranteed to provide you with the unforgettable journey of a lifetime. In one day alone, you could come face-to-face with some of the most beautiful natural wonders of the world, experience a unique wildlife encounter, indulge into the fine foods on offer or simply kick back and enjoy the tranquillity of a country that thrives on the warmth of its people, culture and diversity.  Paul's note; Marc is lucky living where he does, let's see what the whisky scene is like too! www.southafrica.net
