Tasting report on Aldi Highland Black: it's very good. Not overoaked, plenty of peat and a bit of liquorice in there. Reminds me of Grouse Black and some of the west coast malts. 8years old and proper 40%, not the usual 37.5 watered down piss. Recommended.
You should give it a try. It's not at all expensive, at the price you could put it in coffee. The Lidl is OK but doesn't taste of very much.I was about to take your recco and try a bottle- then I noticed your "bit of liquorice" - which puts me off, mightily.
I have recently finished my first bottle of scots in many moons- LIDL's Queen Margot 8 yr. I say it was v. smooth and delightful- seems (from memory) to have outclassed most blends I tried decades ago.
Still, I'll eventually try ALDI's Highland Black 8 yr.
No, it hasn’tpondering a bottle of Port Charlotte MRC 01 10 year old, just hoping it hasn't got too much sweetness on the palate

It hasn't sweetness like a sherried whisky at all; so you'll be fine.
It's quite a dry finish, but superb nose to it and a long, complicated aftertaste
It's worth buying
now I need to find somewhere with stock, I am sure MoM had some but can't see it now
It's available on Amazon at c£90; but I personally wouldn't pay that. It's good, but it's not that good... Much better bottles at that price range
Now you’ve planted the idea, I might do a short and unscientific comparative test tonight.yes I saw that and I agree. The distillery have some at that price as well. Might just try a bottle of Corryvreckan instead

Better do it, then, hadn’t I?I'll wait until you report back!
