No review of the Glen Orrin single grain yet. I am drinking it now and it’s quite an acceptable Dram

I am a whiskey nut and just love to try different blends. So I’m in Aldi and notice the 12 year and 18 year Glen Marnoch single malt, well what does a whiskey man do but buy both bottles. I have to say they were both just fantastic. They were smooth with lots of flavour and I have been telling all my whiskey friends about them. Aldi please keep up the great service of providing fantastic whiskies.

Aldi have deservedly won a substantial reputation in the field of Single Malts. The Speyside has great character associated with Bourbon casks. For Christmas 2014 they produced an Islay blended whisky which I found delightful. It was markedly smoky, but much softer than the medicinal peated “heavies”. – perhaps comparable to Bowmore. This year they have gone for a smokier dram which promises more of the Ardbeg or Lagavulin character. I haven’t opened it yet. I’ve also got a bottle of Highland Black in – it promises to be a good nightcap!

I have tried all the above Glen Marnoch Whiskies a little too much. I liked 18 year old out of the lot drank 2 bottles. The 24 was far too easy to drink but superb and excellent drank 2 bottles . As an update to this article on Glen Marnoch I really enjoyed their recent Bourbon and Limited edition Islay Edition drank 2 bottles each. Islay edition is a very strong one in taste which I found earthy and very peaty drank one bottle and wanted more. I liked all the Glen Marnoch editions and I would never say no to the 12 year old release either. All fanstatic and at a good price. It was nice to spend 1 year going through the lot of them. I would certainly buy them all again given the chance. I also had their older one about 3-4 years ago and they were good too.

got a bottle of the 18 today..as you say it is 25£ but a very fine dram and as much as I like the 24, the 18 was better last time…but think I’ll hold on to this bottle for a later date.
top dram for the money

The Glen Marnoch 18 has now made a return to Aldi, unfortunately at a higher retail price of £24.99. Still a great price for an 18yo whisky!
