Anyone tried the Glen marnoch aldi range yet? I had the islay last night and it was surprisingly good! Very similar to laphroaig 10.

I have had a few, the Islay would be my choice as the best of the Glen Marnoch range but for the money I couldn't fault any off the range.

Look out for some special edition Glen Marnock bottlings around christmas time, often 20 plus year old for around Â£50

Yes the other styles are speyside and highland but I've not tried them yet. Just over Â£17 a bottle does represent v good value.

I like the Speyside as a good starter. Try adding some cask strength Benriach or Benromach. Its quite good.

Griffiin79, if you enjoyed the aldi &17.49 whiskies then you need to try the Lidlâ€™s 3, I canâ€™t decide which i like best the speyside or highland , both drinkable.

I was looking forward to trying the Glen Marnoch 30 year old (sells her in Australia from Aldi for $99) but missed out as they sold fast.

Only one I have tried is their NAS wood finishes which came in a 3 x50ml set and tbh had to give them away as i found them overly woody for my tastes. I would assume the higher aged whisky to be a lot better, currently a 25 year old for $90 available in Australia which I will buy.
