Aldi 16 year old whiskey

Glen Marnoch £19.99 a special purchase item for father's day. Have heard rumours it is far more expensive whisky rebottled but no idea if true. There is also a 12 year old version for £16.99 http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys3_25016.htm


They did a 40 year old version in 2011 which sold out in no time and was listed on ebay for up to £100....

I picked up a bottle of the 12 and 8 year old version this morning but had to ask for it as was not out yet.:beer:

    £19.99 for a bottle of 16 year old whiskey? I would expect a new one for that sort of money...

    It isn't a more expensive brand but does have good precious reviews from the older vintages.

    I found Lidl's Ben Bracken single malt to be perfectly acceptable at £16.99.

    I picked some up on Thurs in Aldi Old Kent Road London, not sure if still in stock or one day offer but nice gifts for whiskey fans.

    I presume we are talking 'Scotch' (whisky) and not whiskey(Irish) the word 'loch' gave me a bit of a clue!

    The box says "Glen Marnoch Speyside Single Malt Whisky"
    They have previously sold the 12 year old at £12.99 and there were rumours it's actually a Dalmore and Aldi bought the whole vat cheap as it wasn't selling...maybe they just held onto it and now the 12 year old is 16 :D
