Aldi has upgraded its line of award-winning whisky’s with a new tipple just ahead of Burns Night – and it costs less than £18 a bottle.

For anyone looking to get a budget-friendly option ahead of the annual holiday, then the supermarket’s brand new Glen Orrin 3-Year-Old Peated Whisky will offer high quality taste and an affordable price-tag.
Available in stores nationwide, this blended Scotch whisky offers up sweet notes of green moss and lavender, mixed with creamy notes of butterscotch. With its “lingering smoky finish”, it is still ideal for those who enjoy the traditional whisky flavour.

According to the budget chain, its own-brand whisky is the “perfect accompaniment” to your traditional Burns supper, making it “the ideal tipple” for celebrating the life and works of the Scottish poet.
