We hope you are sitting comfortably, we thought that today we would start off with a little story, just because we feel like it. We hope you are sitting comfortably and you have a mug of cocoa, your footie pyjamas and a teddy bear on hand? Good, let’s begin.
We are no longer in summery and sunny South Africa enjoying the last few weeks of a perfect (somewhat boiling) summer. Instead we are striding across the grand entrance hall of our Scottish castle, the stern faces of our ancestors stare us down as we walk through a great wooden door way in to a room that is ours, it’s walls are lined with books; their leather spines cracked and peeling from years and decades of wear and tear.
The gold leafed letter’s slowly disappearing with age and time. Pictures and paintings on the walls vying for space amongst the bookshelves and the thick, plush, brocaded curtains that are keeping the sound of rain beating against the castle walls and the large arched windows to a muffled drumming; you move towards the old leather arm chair by the fire. Your two great Scottish hunting hounds that are dozing on the hearth; each opens and eye and flick an ear at your approach, sinking back into the soft cushioning and the shining leather you sigh, kick off your boots, loosen your cravat and pour yourself a tumbler of liquid gold, Johnnie Walker whisky.
As the smooth golden liquid makes its way down your throat with the comforting warmth you sigh and all the troubles of your day disappear as if by magic. You watch the flickering flames dance in the fireplace and the gentle popping and spitting lulls your busy mind in to a sense of calm.
Isn’t that a wonderful story? Doesn’t it just make you hunger for a short tumbler with Johnnie Walker and two cubes of ice? It sure as anything makes us want to be a Laird in Scotland, grand castle, hunting hounds and acres of land with deer roaming free.
Johnnie Walker Whisky is a legacy that was left by one John “Johnnie” Walker who started to sell it in his grocer’s shop in Ayrshire in Scotland. It became so popular that it is now sold all over the world, including in South Africa on the greatest same day gifting site, NetGifts.
NetGifts, a sister site to the most popular online florist, Netflorist is one of the many stockists of Johnnie Walker whisky, and sure you could pop in to your nearest liquor store after work or on the weekend but just bear this in mind- if you do this you will have to wrap it up, add the ribbons and the bows yourself. AND if you buy a gift set of Johnnie Walker you get a delicious and decadent chocolate from Lindt or Cote D’or just to sweeten the deal and to make us feel like proper Scottish lairds of old.
All you need to do in order to gift a beautiful box of Johnnie Walker whisky and chocolate is to log online and get ordering, Johnnie Walker gift sets and hampers can be delivered across South Africa.
