9 incredible Prime Day whisky deals, revealed - and 1 stunning cognac

These are dram good deals...

09 October 2024

Amazon Prime Big Deals Days is here - bit of a mouthful, innit? The main thing you should know, though: there are whisky discounts a-plenty. In fact, there are far too many to choose from, which is why we have distilled the best whisky deals you need to know about.

I have been reviewing whisky for a number of years now and have been lucky enough to taste some of the most expensive drams in the world. But it's not those I am writing about here.

Nope, it's those everyday tipples that will help you relax after a hard day - more so knowing that, with each sip, you have something of a dram discount.

There are hundreds of discounted whiskies available right now but I have chosen 8 that are certainly worth a look.

They may not be the obvious choices, but that's the point: when whisky is discounted, it sometimes means that the price point finally hits that sweet spot of affordability for you.

Whichever one you choose from the below list, I don't think you will be disappointed. I certainly wasn't when I taste tested them...

Heavens Door
£64.99 - WAS £77£64.99 - WAS £77£64.99 - WAS £77£64.99 - WAS £77£64.99 - WAS £77
When it comes to premium bourbon, this is about as premium as it gets. It's been crafted in association with Bob Dylan and the price point is usually around the £75 so this is a fantastic deal. Taste wise, there's a sweetness there and a smoke hit with vanilla cutting through.

If you want to try something a little different then try this wonderful rye from New Orleans. Similar to bourbon, but made with at least 51% rye it makes for a smoother taste. We are big fans of this bottle.

This is the bottle we always pick up when Prime Day comes around. It’s one of the most well-rounded drinks, with notes of red apple and stone fruits. It’s a ruby colour and there’s a lovely crispness to the taste.

Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Islay

Bunnahabhain is always an interesting whisky as it’s an Islay that isn’t peated whatsoever - a rarity for this particular island. The lack of peat (there is still a hint, mind) means that it’s more of a mellow taste that’s rich in fruit.

Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack
£22 WAS: £36£22 WAS: £36£22 WAS: £36£22 WAS: £36£22 WAS: £36
Gentleman Jack is a more discerning drop of JD, having been mellowed for longer, thanks to a double dip in charcoal. This gives it a smoother, longer taste on the palate. We prefer this one neat but it's also a decent base for a whiskey sour.

If you are looking for a bargain whisky tipple then this is it. We wouldn’t pay full price for Glenlivet Founder's Reserve but this is a fantastic whisky for under £25. Taste wise, there’s a creamy texture to this malt with pear, orange and toffee apple notes. It’s got a lovely amber colour, too.

Rémy Martin Cognac
£36.40 Was: £56£36.40 Was: £56£36.40 Was: £56£36.40 Was: £56£36.40 Was: £56
King Louis XV was the one who gave Remy Martin the reward of excellence way back in 1738 - and we aren’t going to disagree with loyalty. This is a fine cognac, one that’s both rich and mellow. This is one for special occasions and a must by at this price.
