After Aldi's superb whisky a few years ago (was it an aged Mortlach? It was fantastic!) I look forward to their Christmas leaflet.
This year's is very poor indeed.
Their "For The Connoisseur" section features their Baileys knock-offs
A bottle of "French XO Brandy" for £14, and a wholly missable opportunity to buy a 4.5 litre bottle of tawny port for £99.
I'm not saying Christmas is ruined, but they're not helping things.
"For the Connoisseur" indeed. |

First world problems, eh?
I’m disappointed too, although grateful for the awesome drams they did put out during their ‘golden years’. Yes, it was a Mortlach, fortunately I put some aside ðŸ‘🾠|

Ant in Wales, November 19th Lidl’s are doing a rare islay 16 year old for £34.99, maybe that will help cheer your mood. |

Yes,I saw that and thought worth a whirl.
Not Lagavulin, surely? |

Been thinking about this. Could be Laga but why would you bother? it's so close to the normal price point...
Then I thought maybe Caol Ila or Bowmore. |

According to the brochure in shop it's going to be 43% ABV. |

Will be keeping an eye out for that, thanks. |
