We arrived in Cape Town yesterday and had a busy day so I’m just now getting the chance to blog about our adventures here. Our hotel, the Cape Grace Hotel, is absolutely beautiful and is one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in. The decor is stunning, as is our room, the pool, the restaurant and all of the common areas. And I must not forget that this is also the home of a whiskey bar that houses 450 single malt scotch whiskeys, the largest collection in the southern hemisphere. We enjoyed a tasting of South African wines at the hotel bar and dined at a fish restaurant on the Victoria & Albert waterfront, just a quick walk from our hotel.



Next I’ll be blogging about our first full day with our tour guide, Jenny.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky Discrepancy
This post made me curious as to how complete this hotel's collection of single malt scotch whiskies was, so I found a complete list of all on record single scotch malt whiskies. The list totals 168 (here's my source https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/brands/scotchwhisky/40/single-malt-scotch-whisky) Explain???
