Can I bring my own bottle of booze to South Africa

I haven’t tried the other Rum’s. I cut my teeth on Bundaberg Rum and I like it, many don’t but that’s ok.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It’s OK, I won’t drink your Bourbon or Rye, it’s a matter of taste.

of course - I always bring a few flasks of fine whiskey

So it's only the liquor stores in ZA that are outside of the airport that have the decreased strength?

I've not seen that be the case, but I also don't have much experience with buying booze in SA. I do buy it in the airport and I've not seen it be decreased for anything I've bought, and I buy all I can carry most every time.

I bought bottles of Woodford and Buffalo Trace in EC that were both only 55 proof.
Maybe it's an EC thing, I'll have to find out.

@crackerman
I took a one liter bottle of my beloved Bundy rum to Namibia with me. No issues at all.
Glad I did that Captain Morgan spiced rum is absolute shit. I would prefer to drink gasoline than that stuff.

Jimmy Buffet can set sail with that swill I’ll stick to drinking gasoline.
