Whiskey has shot to the top of the agenda were Black Friday deals are concerned, with 2023 beckoning in more reductions than we can keep track of.
Fret not, however, for ShortList has their finger on the deals pulse - and I've honed in on a three of the top whiskey deals worth your time (and hard earned money).
When it comes to whiskey, most people think of Scotland. After all, the Isles of Skye, Islay and Raalsay have become hotbeds where dram production is concerned.
However, spare a thought for Wales - a nation that has been fighting its way up the whiskey ladder, securing a notable spot on this here list.
Sure, The Valleys might not be the first region you think of when you think of a delectable rye - we're looking at you Kentucky - but one things for certain, the home of the dragon is worth paying attention to.
Not to mention a couple of offerings from further afield, with a classic and a relative newcomer taking pride of place among our top deals so far this Black Friday.
