A special batch of tasting notes for the discount retailer’s line-up of keenly-priced pre-Christmas Scotch whiskies, all on sale from 12 November. The limited edition range includes three blends and two single malts – one from Speyside and one from Islay – all tasted here by Richard Woodard.
The 22yo blended is excellent, well worth a try, very smooth. Have bought the 28yo malt and the 34yo blended a while back but not opened them yet. If these were brand whiskies then they'd be about 4 times the price.

I got the 22yr old Islay - peaty but not as peaty as laphroig, goes down really well.
There has been talk that these whisky come from the big distilleries and are affectionately known as '**** brands'.

I'll stick to my usual tipple of bottles of VodKat and Frosty Jack.

The 25yr blend has far more taste than the 34yr.

I thought Aldi had the better whisky of the two shops? Not tried either myself but often see the Aldi whiskys at the top, or near the top, of various awards.

Title of the post is misleading ie single malt for £22.99. The 22.99 is for the blended whisky
