One of the nicest places I’ve visited! A must for all whiskey lovers. I felt like a kid in a candy store with all the wonderful options. The owner is very knowledgeable and customises all the tastings to your taste and budget. They have whiskeys for all price ranges. Would definitely recommend all whiskey lovers to visit, it is definitely worth the drive from Cape Town

Make sure you order some of the amazing Korean food beforehand to line your stomach. The owner's wife is Korean herself so it's the real deal! Whiskey selection of 900 whiskeys of all price ranges with really rare single cask whiskeys, giving an opportunity to try something that's only around once in a lifetime. Smooth, peaty, salty, there's something for everyone. The art in the adjacent art gallery is quite neat too.

Not much more to be said that hasn't been mentioned in the well deserved reviews proceeding mine.
This is a fantastic establishment that boasts one of, if not the largest collection of whisky in South Africa from across the world.
As another reviewer mentioned, this is impressive enough, but ultimately meaningless if the experience itself is not up to par. But this is where Whisky Library truly excels as Jacques, the owner is not only an encyclopedia of whisky knowledge, but is also able to tailor a tasting to exactly any patron's palate based on their preference and experience.
Novices and aficionados alike will be absolutely entranced by this establishment and gushing about their experience for months!
Had some fantastic whiskies. So many to choose from but Jacques did an excellent job of matching them to what I was looking for. One was so good it basically had me in tears. Thanks for the great experience Jacques. I’ll be back soon to continue where I left off…
Lekker tasting experience! All the whiskeys are the owners personal collection. No bottles available for purchase but negotiations can be made for select bottles. Small chow menu that is sure to satisfy your tastebuds.
I have tried many different types of tastings before but this has been by far the most unique experience. What I appreciated most was that it wasn’t just 850 bottles of whiskey on the shelf. I am by no means a connoisseur but I could describe what I like and the owner could match me with something I actually enjoyed. This place truly is something special and a must for both the ‘expert’ and the novice.
What a fantastic place for whiskey connoisseurs! This is a classy, very neat and relaxing place. Book beforehand to avoid disappointment, there are over 660 different whiskeys to taste from, some you'll not get anywhere else in the world! As they have stopped being produced!!! You can sit down, have a great cigar, while choosing your selection of whiskeys, prices range from around under R200 to over R1300 per set (6 whiskeys) whatever the price, these are totally worth it. Dash it up with a great selection of cheese platters and have a fantastic time. The owner is extremely nice and accommodating, and it won't be long then I'll be back there again! A MUST for whiskey lovers!!!
A totally awesome experience. My 1st ever whiskey tasting.
The whiskey selection was amazing. Thank you very much for that. Please expect to see me very soon, and alot more often!
Sadly you lost a star for the time I had to wait for my chicken-mayo sandwich, but when it eventually arrived it was totally worth the wait, as it tasted very good and filling.
