ALDI’S £17.49 WHISKY IS WORLD’S BEST FOR SECOND YEAR RUNNING

• Aldi’s Glen Marnoch Highland Single Malt Whisky wins GOLD at the International Spirits Challenge 2023
• The whisky beat competitors costing over double the price, such as the Peat Chimney Wemyss Malts (£38.74)[i]

Aldi’s Glen Marnoch Highland Single Malt Whisky (£17.49, 70cl) has been awarded a gold medal at the world-renowned International Spirits Challenge (ISC) for the second year running – and costs less than £20.  

Traditionally matured in hand crafted white oak casks for a minimum of three years, the expertly distilled award winner beat brands costing up to 55% more, such as Peat Chimney Wemyss Malts which retails for £38.74ⁱⁱ. 

The budget supermarket also scooped up not one but THREE silver medals for its Glen Marnoch Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (£17.49, 70cl), Glen Marnoch 12 YO Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (£21.99, 70cl) and Glen Marnoch Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (£17.49, 70cl) – the same accolade awarded to The Glenturret Triple Wood Single Malt Whisky, which costs 65% more!ⁱⁱⁱ 

What’s more, the news lands just in time for World Whisky Day (20^th May), meaning shoppers can stock up on top quality drams that won’t break the bank.

This isn’t the first time Aldi’s whisky range has been given the nod of approval by experts – the supermarket’s quality offering was awarded a combined 11 medals at IWSC Spirits and ISC Whisky awards in 2022.  

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “It is fantastic to see four of our hero whiskies recognised by experts in the industry, with one landing a gold medal two years in a row.  

“This competition has shown that we are making world-class whisky on par with premium bottles – for a fraction of the price.” 

Aldi’s range of award-winning whiskies are available in Aldi stores nationwide and via Click&Collect now.
