The best Black Friday whisky deals if you're feeling fancy
We're always feeling fancy.
We're always feeling fancy.
Whisky is pretty much a staple over the festive period. What else is Father Christmas going to drink to keep him going when he does the rounds on December 24th? (Okay, maybe it's brandy, it's been a while since I did the whole 'leave a drink out for Santa' thing.)
Anyway, the point is, there are some brilliant Black Friday whisky deals on right now, and if you like a warming tipple as the winter nights draw in, we suggest it's worth taking advantage of them.

You can't have a whisky without anything to drink it in, can you?
Now we're nearing the end of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, the deals are drawing to a close, so you'd better be quick...

Looking for that 'special occasion' whisky? This is it. It's pricy, but that's for a reason, and you can't ignore the £70 off. A 1999 bottle that was out as a special release in 2017, this Teaninich reflects its older style of production in its taste. Like a moment in time.
