‘Exclusive’ Black Friday deal knocks 15% off Glenfiddich whisky with gift tin

Whisky is a brilliant gift this Christmas – but you want to make sure you buy a variety that your loved one is sure to enjoy. Enter: the , which Amazon has reduced in price from £41.31 down to £35 thanks to a Black Friday deal.

This is an easy drinker that’s sure to please a lucky recipient, with a fresh and fruity aroma that turns into a creamy, butterscotch-y and oaky taste on the palate. While some drinkers find overly peaty or smoky whiskies a bit unpleasant, this one is much smoother to drink – and earned itself a gold medal at the 2015 International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Best yet, it comes in a 100% recyclable gift tin, taking the legwork out of having to wrap it up for Christmas. It’s one to enjoy neat, over ice, or even in a cocktail. You could try the Glenfiddich Buck, which mixes the whisky with elderflower cordial, soda water and a lemon wedge, served in a highball glass for a refreshing cocktail.

The whisky is a clear winner , where it’s racked up 4.8 stars out of 5 from 449 reviews. “The whisky has a rich, smooth flavour with hints of pear and subtle oak notes. The limited edition tin adds a classy touch, making it a perfect gift. Outstanding value for the price,” one shopper raved.

“Beautifully presented in a lovely gift tin – made for gifting,” a second agreed. “Classic brand of superior whisky.” While a third said: in a really smart gift tin – perfect for Christmas gifts, or to treat yourself!”

However, everyone’s palates are different. One shopper was less pleased, writing in their review: “Very underwhelming for the price paid, had much better at a far lesser cost.” While another said (in a translated review from Germany): “I wouldn’t buy it again.”

If you did want to shop around, there are a huge amount of options to choose from. You could opt for the beautifully presented .  Or, if you wanted to try an Irish drop,  for £21.50.
