Do you like whiskey?

[logeyboy]

could this be true....

"I was born and brought up in Speyside and I'm still a regular visitor to that area. I don't claim to be an expert but I would say I've heard of every malt whisky in Scotland. I certainly have NOT heard of Glenbridge or Glen Marnoch - they sound like made up names to me! - What a World!, Essex, 21/11/2011 22:19 ------- The average Aldi customer wouldn' tbe able to tell the difference between a 40 year old malt and a blend."

 

Funny this, my uncle was a distiller in Speyside and my family still live up there. I was up there a few weeks ago doing the Whisky trail and I have never heard of this Whisky either. Google only seems to return results for this deal too!

Just because it's 40 years old, doesn't automaticaly make it it good whisky does it?
A good single malt does hit the spot, but I doubt this is one.

PR stunt.

Try this.

Very true But even the chance of a 40 yr old malt at 50 quid is worth it man lol  .... As for the name its a possible spinoff of another major distillery not sure will let you know how it tastes i love a single malt especially a 21 yr old Macallam

found this

The first supermarket ever to sell an own-label spirit 40 years old, discounter Aldi will be releasing 3,000 bottles of the whisky throughout its 450 UK stores as a special Christmas present to loyal shoppers.

its like 40 year old tescos finest

Blue label is a very nice drink, and i have been through a couple of bottles. I think for me (despite being blended) Chivas Brothers Royal Salute just pips it.

Beautiful drink!! My dad purchased a bottle 34yrs ago when my brother was born and kept it until my brother has his first kid. Even then I was only allowed 2 small test drinks  (comes in a very rare white porcelin flask).. worth a try if you can get some!!

[logeyboy]

Chivas is nice. Was up at the distillery a few weeks ago sampling the goods 

Gotta be a Speyside for me every time. Love a Macallan.

If you can find one try looking for a Linkwood - I might be biased on this though as this is what my Uncle used to distill.
