Just treated myself to a bottle and then thought I'd go for a bottle of Green Spot - Single Pot Still as well

Given the strength of some of the Japanese stuff, I reckon you could run the bike on it too.

Is it good? I thought about buying some in Waitrose @£34 last week as an £8 voucher was burning a hole in my pocket. In the end I went for 15yo sherry cask Glenfiddich @£40/75cl, which is horrible.

Yes, extremely good. IMO pound for pound one of the best value whisky's I have. It does benefit a splash of water but is still very drinkable without. It tastes like a £100 plus bottle so for under £40 it is a bargain.
It has a massive flavour, not for a whisky dilettante and far from the mellow smoothness of Glenfiddich. When I tasted it first it blew my socks off and I can see myself buying a few more bottles over time.

I find much Scotch whisky is like that. You should have gone for the Japonese NIkka. The Land of the Rising Sun rarely disappoints. 佳

I'm not guaranteeing that it applies to all branches but my Tesco had some interesting bargains this morning including:
Highland Park Dragon Legend down from £40 to £22
Talisker Skye down from £39 to £26
I don't know if there's another thread for gin but they had these two half-price offers:
Japanese Roku for £15
Tanqueray Sevilla for £12.50

It (Nikka From the Barrel) is still £34 at Waitrose, and I have received a new batch of £8 off vouchers this morning. I might have to go back when the river outside has reverted to being a road. I’ll make use of the time by waxing my Barbour and ironing my cravat - then hopefully security won’t eject me again.

Not really in the spirit of the OP price level but I tried a dram of Port Charlotte 2010 MRC: 01 and find myself needing to buy a bottle now.
I bought a bottle of that (amongst several others) when I visited Islay a month or so back. It's a very fine tipple.

I did the deed yesterday along with a backup Woodford and good old reliable Lagavulin 16

Not sure if that was a piss take - it was £30 when I posted that a few weeks back.

I'm really missing the bottle of Lagavulin 16 I finished recently, in spite of the Bunnahabhain I have to keep me going. Does Black Friday work for whisky?

Amazon often have a deal on Whisky and I got my Lagavulin 16 for £43.99 last week but it is back up to £48.95 now. Keep an eye out.
