The best Prime Day in October drink discounts available

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.

If you are after something of a rum bargain, this October Prime Day then this Appleton Estate 8 Year Old Reserve is well worth looking at. There’s a nice bit of spicyness to proceedings, a well as an oak finish. Sprinkle in vanilla and citrus notes and what you have is an easy drinking rum.

Dark fruits are part of what make up the intensity of Brockmans gin. It’s packed with blueberries and blackberries, as well as a decent dose of juniper. Add to that liquorice, cardamom and some lemon and orange peal and this is a gin that’s bursting with flavour.

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.

Bushmill’s 10 year is a smooth dram, packed with honey and vanilla notes. This one is a really nice way in to the Bushmill’s line-up and an award winner to boot.

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.

Release the Kraken! This version of the popular dark rum adds coffee into the mix. Perfect then for those who are still pining for the resurrection of the still discontinued Cafe Patron.

Always a Prime Day treat, Plymouth gin has earthy notes that are cut through with a hint of lemon. Add to this a touch of cardamom and coriander to spice things up and what you have is a gin that’s just the tonic at this price.

For those who like their whisky really peaty, Smokehead is for you. Made by Ian Macleod Distillers, which also has Glengoyne and Shieldaig on its books, this is a cracking dram that offer both smoke and fire in a glass.

There isn’t much more we can write about Tanqueray No. TEN Gin that hasn’t been written before. It’s one of the most refined gins around - the no. TEN variety adds in four more botanicals, including grapefruit, orange, lime and chamomile.
