If you’re on the hunt for a last minute Father’s Day treat for you dad, and he likes the occasional whisky tipple, then head down to Aldi and pick up the own-brand Highland Black 8 Year Old Scotch Whisky, £13.22 which has just beat (expensive) rivals, including a whisky priced at almost £700 to two gold medals at the prestigious International Spirits Challenge 2013.
Made from a blend of the finest grain and malt whiskies from Scotland, it has a rich and sophisticated taste that far belies it’s price tag – well no one said that a treat had to be pricey – and you know how much dad’s hate you to spend money on them!
And if your pops is more of a gin-man, then how about Aldi’s Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin, £9.65, which recently won a silver medal at the International Spirits Challenge in April.
