I had the Glen Marnoch 18 a couple of years ago, it was a pleasant Speyside malt. They also done a Glen Marnoch 24 year old which was excellent

Tweeddale Blend batch 1 was good, batch 2 was very good in fact i picked up 2 bottles from Aldi this evening, not had the chance to try batch 3 yet.

I reviewed batch 1 a couple of years ago

I noticed that Aldi now have Highland Park 12 for Â£24.99 and they had it marked as "Malt of the Month", hopefully this will mean they will be expanding their malt whisky range and at a decent price. They still have the Tweeddale Blend for Â£19.99

My local Aldi now have Ardmore for Â£22.99. Although it's NAS it's matured in quarter casks and seems to be regarded as decent so I'm quite tempted.

Picked up a bottle of the Ardmore Traditionl today and couldnt resist a wee sample of it after dinner. Excellent for Â£22.99, will have to wait to later to have a proper drink as i have to drive tonight.

I picked up a Tweeddale blend for Â£19.99 and a bottle of Ardmore for Â£22.99 today in Aldi. It is turning into a shop to keep an eye out for bargains. Not a shop i am in often but i will be making a point of nipping in every month. Also got a few bottles of Innis & Gunn beer for Â£1.25 each if i remember correctly which is a godd saving also.

Nipped into Aldi to check what they have on offer and spotted a no age statement Scotch single grain whisky for Â£11.50, couldnt resist at this price. It is clearly going to be young but it has the dark tan of a whisky that has spent many years in a sherry cask, i went for it anyway. I will give it a try tonight and let you know if it is any good, fingers crossed.

Also spotted a bottle of Glen Turner blended malt which they have marked as "Malt of the Month", it had no age statement and priced at Â£22.99 the tube described it as double cask matured then madiera cask finished. I was tempted but gave it a miss, anyone here come across this bottle before. It was only the empty tube on the shelf for security reasons so i couldnt see if it had been given a fake tan but i would guess that it has.
