Aberlour A'bunadh Single Malt Whisky down from £41.50 to £33.50 at Waitrose (National Deal).
This excellent cask strength (59.6% or thereabouts) whisky is one of the best even at full price. This is an absolute bargain for single malt fans.

£30 off your first £100 shop. 3 x bottles 100.50p minus £30 = £70.50p. £23.50 a bottle.

Ok,
So I cracked open my newly purchased bottle of batch 52 last night, when I got home at 10pm.
The wife had the fire burning away nicely, and the room was pleasantly warm. I poured myself a decent tot and the first thing noticed was the intense rich colour of the whisky. Not the pale straw colour of a more mainstream scotch, but a deep rosewood, with hints of cedar wood. There was nothing smoky about the aroma, but the sweetness of the sherry casks and a muscovado sugar overtone. First sip gave a rich mouth filling flavour, hot, but not nostril flaming, with a long finish of rich fruit cake, almost figgy, but not overpowering. I relaxed into my glass-full and had a pleasant night's sleep.
Look forward to tonight now :smiley:

I just received 3 bottles for 23.50. One of the hottest deals around if you can use the coupon. Scorching

Voted hot. Waitrose seem to reduce this one every year in the run up to Christmas.

My whisky tasting expert friend (Manchester Whisky Soc, pyromaniacs blog) tells me this punches well above it's weight.
I'll be heading down to my local to purchase a bottle.
Thanks OP.

This is excellent, heavily sherried malt which requires a splash of water, it is so strong. Mmmmmmmm.

Beautiful stuff, never read a bad word about it. Highly recommended, but do leave it towards the end of the evening because nothing really follows it.
Now am wondering if I should buy another bottle, even though I only bought one (at full price) last week.

I just bought 2 bottles, one is batch #51 the other batch #52.
I already have #47,#49,#50 (nearly empty).
Might keep these for XMAS gifts for some whisky friends.

I misread the title as Abu Dhabi and thought "I could get lashed on that".

For drinking in Abu Dhabi you might well get lashed, with a cat of nine tails.
