Can you recommend a couple of blended whiskey's? Just finished a bottle of green spot and I'm looking to branch out into something new

Seems to have been this price for a while now. Was posted a couple of weeks ago. £16 for single malt is very cheap, but when the marketing is saying its for mixing, then that is all it will be good for

Well... "Single malt" isn't any statement of quality, that's a misconception. It's just a technical set of specifications which they do match so... Yes it should be called that. But thinking "blend" means anything bad is also a mistake - a blend of high quality whiskies can be even better than the sum of its parts. And even a cheap entry level blend will be much smoother and milder than some poor distillate that's been stuck in a 6th fill bourbon barrel for 3 years. Anyway I've tried this one and I'll agree it's definitely bad. You'd be much better off with ballantine's finest blended at £15.

Any single malt that claims to be "ideal for mixing" needs a body swerve. If you want to put a mixer in it why bother buying a malt.

It's not bad for this price. I found it light and quaffable with little complexity. I didn't find it harsh at all but my son did. For 16 notes you get something to sip while saving your better malts for another time.

No, I just want to say, that any hard alcohol which is less than 40% , is crap, making you to feel sick and have a bad hungover.. unfortunately. 37 isn't as 40

Wow I am from Latvia i think you need to understand that near is not the same as next to Russia where i have been many times i think you are trying too hard to prove something just because of damn vodka and you better Google it before you say something sunshine.

vodka can be made from literally anything - there’s a scottish vodka made from commercial oil by-products.

Are you stalking me?😁😁😁 If you are Geographically educated that Latvia is near Russia

I am not expert, and I am not vodka drinker either. But I try if thee is something new on horizont. I prefer rum if I have to drink (strong)

Have had my Weber gas bbq for 15 years and it is still fantastic

They do payment installments if your skint mate

Imagine spending £500+ on a BBQ

I still use my Spirit E310 purchased in 2011 most nights from April-September every year. The only issue I have had with it was the ignition stopped working a couple of years ago. The bbq has a hole to start it with a match or gas lighter in this situation, so it didn't stop me using it. And despite the bbq being 7.5 years old at the time, I was still able to buy a replacement igniter for £22 from an authorised Weber dealer last year. I'm not sure how many other manufacturers would stock parts for models discontinued 6 years earlier, or not charge a premium for them. In most cases, I would expect a bbq from another brand would have to be replaced in this scenario.

Is there a bbq worth this dosh ???

Keep an eye on this as good chance it will go down in price further it's currently down to £8.48 in my local tesco and seen a few other people say their local Tesco has reduced to that price too.

Isn't the 'red velvet' beetroot so essentially, it's just a colouring?

I love it can definitely taste chocolate cake

As long as someone likes it and it saves them £££ :D

Me and my wife love this really nice imo

Thank you all for your comments, I don't think my gin and tonic premixed cans deal can get any colder, can it? 😁 I guess you all have plenty of cans at home from the 10 cans for £10 deal and if not you all have a Tesco or Morrisons or Asda nearby where you all have time to join the socially distance queue and spend an hour of your life just to pop out to get some.. This deal was really intended for the rest of us, who are Amazon prime members and don't mind ordering online, paying £6 for 4 cans, all done in 30 seconds, free delivery, move on. ;) (y)

Usually prefer the 10 cans for a tenner deal!

I don’t think It’s a deal

Normally see these on offer £5 for 4

Two replies, cheers, didn't know you were that triggered by a comment not even directed at you. Fragile much??? (cheeky) (cheeky)

Can't say I noticed anything in my Black russians last night .especially after a few 🙃 Have tried a few cheapy copies......all been ropey ....except no substitutes

Managed to swipe a 1L bottle of this for £10 @ my local Tesco the other day (they normally sell for £20). Store specific and it was the last one. But £16 as a nationwide offer isn’t bad, especially given the times. After I bought it I read one review by someone saying it tastes different now though. Maybe not due to the ingredients but perhaps the method. Anyone else vouch for that? I haven’t opened my bottle yet and probably won’t for a while.

Oh god. Havent had one of those in years. Was my go to drink when I was clubbing.. then some southern comforts lemonade n lime <3 :p

Yum, not had one in ages. I now need to buy vodka.🥃

Voting hot as I'm a sucker for a black russian (y) (y)

I've only just noticed my original photo got moderated to death so here it is again. I like to see how the original offer looks in the shop.

(horror) (y)

this is not an uncommon price for 70cl..... now 1ltr for £20... that's would be a deal

Mix it with lime and lemonade

Drinking this pure is really not nice.. How do you mix it to get the most out of it?

I got 1 litre for 18 on Amazon on Tuesday gone up to 20

I got 1 L bottle for £17

KRAKEN-ILZKF5 Code if needed (y) 🏻

KRAKEN-712VIM

If website is failing try a incognito or private session

:D :D :D So true (y)

You are in an elite group now though, you made it! Feel good that you went hard and you might possibly get some cool glasses. Unless their backend is as quirky as their front end, then who knows what you’re gonna get.

If anyone has a go local shop they are £13

And Raspberry flavour.

Wait you keep gin in the fridge (confused) , never occurred

Yeah definately - a good gin and is chilling in the fridge !

That's a much better price! Thanks

Expensive for gin liqueur which is "diluted" gin.

I've drunk belvedere for a number of years which may have been an advantage.

My missis done a blind test on me with this, belvedere and lidl's premium a few years ago. I didn't like the Lidl one but I couldn't tell the difference between the other 2. Been drinking this ever since then

I'd agree with others that Grey Goose has the slight edge to smoothness but to be honest at literally half the price I will buy this every time, heck I could buy two (shock)

This is very good stuff. I had someone taste test me this, Grey Goose and Belvedere, straight out the freezer. Belvedere was easy, but GG and this there wasn't much in it. GG was possibly that bit smoother down the throat. When this is 14 quid there is no point in buying the likes of Smirnoff imo.

Not heard that about the Aldi option but there's lots of similar comments online about Kirkland Signature French Vodka (Costco). Nobody seems to know for sure but that's another one worth recommending.

Cheers!

I might get some when I go near an Aldi. I usually drink absolut or grey goose. I'll get crystal head from duty free. I don't drink much really but I know loads of people who are drinking more now, probably boredom.

I’m going mad as I replied to you and it’s not showing! Yes I do recommend both as with Absolut you have a choice of flavours but with the French Vodka it goes down really smoothly (y)

Lidl having polish vodka good brand 40% for 14.99 but not always in stock and always sold out, in my experience stick to source than generic french, french are good in red wine and cognac all about vodka quality belongs to east europe for ages and nothing changes in this matter

Must try if u recommend

Ordered. Like the sound of this. Delivery Sunday in time for bank holiday tasting.

Costco have it for £12 (1 Litre) membership required otherwise its good price

Cold, Tescos have 1 litre for £14

This is honestly so delicious, certainly blows a malibu and pineapple out of the water!

This is a better coconut rum (if that's your bag) Ok it's 4 quid more, but is nearly twice the alcohol content and tastes better https://www.amazon.co.uk/Koko-Kanu-Rum-70-cl/dp/B004EAFDSG/

If you have access, Costco usually have the Quarter Cask for £30 or less.

Agreed, spend £3 more and get the 10yo.

Like most of the bottom of the range NAS whiskies from the big distillers, it isn’t their best product. Definitely worth a few extra quid for the 10

LOVE the QC! Never tried the Select, but figured that the 10 and QC were the way to go.

Standard price for the select. spend a few quid more for the 10 yr old, failing that the quarter cask. IMO they are far superior.

Thanks (y)

One of my firm favourites. Very easy to drink on its own.

Not as sweet as the rums you mentioned, the Cuban rums are more oak and tobacco.

Anyone tried Diplomático? There was a good deal on here a few months back in Waitrose..

I had at the weekend kranken rum with bit of prossecco , pomegranate syrup , lime and a bit of orange juice , was nice as not too sweet

If anyone's interested in the Aber Falls Rhubarb & Ginger gin but can't get to Lidl, Debenhams has it for 51p more @ £22.50, delivered free using delivery code SH7W :- https://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_311010512299_-1

Yeah, they should charge Sainsbury's prices to ensure they never sell out. (annoyed) And it's called 'Lidl'.

Thar's Lidls for you

I was very disappointed that they had none of these in my lidl's at Surrey Quays today, they didn't even have any tonic water! I was there just after lunch I don't think it had all sold out it just looked like they didn't have any of it.

I got the Shetland reel in a craft gin club box last year and am a big fan!

Enough of the snitchers (wtf is wrong with people?!), one of summer's little luxuries is sipping a strong Mt Gay with a dash of full fat Coke over heaps of ice (y) cheers op

No, it's a different retailer, so the deal stands. A genuine repeat deal will be removed without issue once reported .

Already posted, lazy poster

Post was for amazon though.

Already posted

Isn’t Kraken spiced rum though?

Lol gay rum

Boring rum tastes like many others probably best buying tesco own brand rum At least kraken has a nice bottle to go with the average content

I bought it whilst in Barbados and was massively cheaper obviously,lovely stuff. I would say I'd to back to buy more but that would just be silly lol

Drink it like a man
