We’re raising a glass to the Black Friday alcohol deals as we can now grab bottles of gin, whisky, bourbon and rum, along with a few cans of beer for far less than we would usually pay – and with the festive period fast approaching, it’s an ideal time to get the party supplies in.

Some of the best Black Friday booze deals that have grabbed our attention are the ever dependable Johnnie Walker 15 year old Green Label. Amazon have reduced the price of this blended malt from £40 to £30. And considering this just won Best Blended Scotch or Blended Malt at the Online Scotch Whisky Awards, a 25% saving makes this a cracking deal.

Meanwhile, Amazon are also offering a tasty bargain on the popular Bombay Sapphire gin. They’ve watered down the price from £41.10 to just £25 for a 70cl bottle. A classic gin that should be on every bar, especially with 39% off the price!

Gin

The craft gin boom of the last few years seems to be dying down a bit, but there’s still a multitude of gins out there to try and selecting one of the many available can seem daunting due to their eye-catching bottle shapes and label designs. 

The good, old-fashioned G&T is still the most popular way to sip your gin, but there are new gin flavours to try with tonics to match, a variety of garnishes which compliment the botanicals used – and some gins are also excellent to try neat and, of course, in cocktails. Here are some of our favourites.

Whisky, whiskey and bourbon

Whisky has enjoyed a massive boom in popularity over the last 12 years, so much so that some single cask bottles and a few general releases are now snapped up within minutes of going on sale never to be seen again (unless you frequent the auction sites where these bottles are being sold for exorbitant prices by unscrupulous flippers). 

New distilleries have appeared all over the world eager to get in on the action, and no matter what you’re into, be it Scotch whisky, bourbon, blends, Irish whiskey, Texas single malts or anything else, prices are slowly creeping up. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find a magical deal or two, so here are a few bottles I’m happy to recommend.

These are made specifically for sipping, but there are also many other rums which are hitting the spot, so here’s our pick of mixers and sippers from across rum world.
