Best supermarket whiskey less than £25

[Gaz3376]

As per title need a gift today, was thinking of a bottle of whiskey, what's the best I can get for £20-£25?

[Chucklehead]

At that price it'll be down to what the supermarket has really.. Do you know what the intended recipient likes to drink?

[Gaz3376]

The persons not an experience whiskey drinker he very much enjoyed the monkey shoulder I got him last year though.

[Chucklehead]

Ah..

Waitrose had an offer on Aberlour 12 and they also had a Talisker. If you can stretch to 25-35 then you'll definitely find something.

Strathisla, is a good one and now available at most supermarkets.

[Gaz3376]

What's glenfiddich 12 year like? £24 in asda.

[Chucklehead]

Monkey Shoulder is a blend that includes, amongst others, Glenfiddich so it might not be a bad idea.

It wouldn't feature in my top ten at your budget, but I have different tastes.

You can normally find Jura Origin for about £25 at the supermarkets. It's good for someone who doesn't normally like drink scotch.

Highland Park £25 in Tesco at the moment. That's what I'd go for.

Two 700ml bottles of 'Scotch Whisky' from Aldi...

Yup. £23.99 in my local B&M (horrible place) at the moment.

A bargain although it really isn't that great.
Another few quid gets you some much nicer things.

The sherry cask finiahed Glen alba I bought in Aldi is nice but I think that was closer to £30.

Yes, a darn good whisky @ £25 . Really opens up with a drop of water. Cannot go wrong with that particular whisky at that price.

Another vote for that at £25; good value indeed.

Although Morrison's used to sell Tormore Speyside for about the same price, which - although totally different in character - was equally agreeable.

Just throwing my late tuppence in here.

Dalwhinnie - Winters Gold. £25 in Tescos.
