I'm a whisky expert - this £25 bottle is the best Black Friday deal I've found
by Jada Jones · Manchester Evening NewsAmazon shoppers are flocking to buy a 'superb whiskey' that is 47% off in an Amazon Black Friday deal. Talisker Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky would typically cost £48 for a bottle, but is now down to £25.50.
Skye is the brand's fresher, brighter cousin to their popular Talisker 10 Year Old. It has a fresh citrus flavour and underlying sweetness, but has been matured in a combination of refill and toasted American oak casks for depth of flavour and a smoky touch.
This is a whisky best served neat or on the rocks and is raved about for its great value for money - even more so now that it is almost 50% off.

It's brought in an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 from across 7,046 global ratings. One shopper said: "This is a superb whiskey very distinctive taste perfect example of an Islay malt. What a great price well worth the money."
A second penned: "A Smokey whiskey with a strong, earthy peat flavour. It drinks best with a little water and ice but you could mix it if you really wanted to."
A third wrote: "The aromas are amazing!! Smoky, peaty with a little bit of fruitiness. Warming on the palate although a little tougher or harsh than say a Jura, but overall a really nice whisky."
A fourth added: "I absolutely love Talisker 10 so much so that I ask my wife to hide it as my once a week treat, and boy do I look forward to it. I love the sweetness and richness of it along with the texture it's just wonderful. I personally don't get much smoke on the palate, on the nose yes. This just adds to the experience and has taken top spot on my whisky list. Great stuff."
It is said to be quite a smoky whisky which is the cause of some complaints. One shopper said: "The smokiness is just too much. Dominates anything that you have with it and unpleasant to drink on it's own."
Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve is also reduced on Amazon at the minute, down to £25 from £33. Instead of the fruity smoky flavours it boasts a vanilla finish. You can get Talisker Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky for £25.50 now on Amazon.
