There\u2019s a new whisky on the shelves, distilled in Scotland but with an African heart. It was whisky born under a setting African sun by two friends, Gerrit Wagener and Brin Kushner,\u00a0 debating the Rhino Poaching crisis. As the campfire crackled, an idea was sparked to create a whisky that would not only highlight the plight of the rhino, but also give back to rhino conservation. A warm welcome, then, to Rhino Whisky<\/strong> – premium but easy-drinking, and with 20 per cent of profits pledged to the rehabilitation of baby rhinos orphaned due to their mothers being killed for their horns, a really well-thought out Christmas drink, and gift. You\u2019ll find it for around R590 and is available online on Takealot and a few select retailers.<\/p>\n
