DISCOUNT supermarket Lidl has unveiled a new “super premium” 16 year old Islay single malt.
Ben Bracken, due to hit the shelves in time for Christmas, will sell for £34.99.
It's the latest single malt to come from Lidl.
Paul McQuade, Head of buying spirits at the supermarket said: “Bringing such an exclusive whisky at this incredible price is testament to our commitment to offer premium Scottish products to our shoppers at market leading prices.
“This 16-year-old single malt from Islay joins our long list of award-winning Ben Bracken whiskies, which offers everything from excellent value Blended Scotch Whiskies to premium Single Malts. We are expecting this to fly off the shelves as it makes an excellent gift for any whisky drinker.”
Whisky expert Blair Bowman added: “This single malt whisky truly is a great find. It’s long rich finish and complex tasting notes sets it alongside some of the best premium whiskies out there.
“It has a fantastic taste to the palette and brings unique flavours together, from sea salt to tropical fruit to smoky driftwood, to create the perfect dram for the winter months.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
