<\/p>\nIF WHISKY is your tipple, then Black Friday is a great time to stock up on heavily discounted bottles of liquid gold ahead of the festive season. <\/p>\n
TheBlack Friday whisky deals on offer this November are perfect for Christmas shopping, or just treating yourself to a hard-earned end-of-year drink<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whether you love a classic malt whisky served neat with just ice, or fancy yourself as a bit of a mixologist who loves to make whisky based concoctions, there will be plenty of choice come Black Friday.<\/p>\n
A wide range of retailers will be slashing the price of popular brands, as well as some niche labels for the true conoisseurs. <\/p>\n
For anyone on the hunt for deals during the sale we would recommend comparing the cost at a few different retailers before splashing out.<\/p>\n
This will ensure you get what you are looking for, at the cheapest possible price.<\/p>\n Black Friday originated in the US as a post-thanksgiving sale and traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season. <\/p>\n This year, Black Friday will take place on Friday November 24 but we're expecting retailers to be dropping deals all month long in the lead-up.<\/p>\n You won't find whisky sales just anywhere on Black Friday, you need to know where to look if you're hoping to pick up a worthwhile deal. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n If past years' sales are anything to go by, these are the retailers you'll be wanting to keep an eye on this year: <\/p>\n Many of the major supermarket chains may also be offering seasonal deals around this time too.<\/p>\n So it is worth scouring the spirits aisles for deals when you're doing your grocery shop.<\/p>\n You may also be able to get your hands on popular whisky advent calendars that are reduced ahead of the festive season during Black Friday.<\/p>\n Some of our favourites on the market right now includes the Drinks by the Dram World Whisky Advent calendar and the Gravity Drinks A Whisky Tour of Scotland Advent Calendar.<\/p>\n So keep your eyes peeled for discounts that may appear come November.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n Our favourite way to figure out what we can expect from this year's Black Friday sale is by looking at what kind of deals were launched last year. <\/p>\n A number of retailers we've already mentioned did slash prices, with plenty of premium Scotch varieties getting the heftiest discounts.<\/p>\n Black Friday pre-dates the internet, so Cyber Monday was born as the online-shopping equivalent to Black Friday.<\/p>\n Nowadays, Black Friday sales are also online, so these competing sales events have merged into one massive weekend-long sales event. <\/p>\n Cyber Monday falls on November 27 this year.<\/p>\n According to Coeliac UK, because whisky is made from barley it is gluten- free and safe to drink for those with Coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. <\/p>\n Cider, wine, sherry, spirits, port and liqueurs are usually gluten-free, but beer, lagers, stouts and ales contain varying amounts of gluten so aren't suitable for gluten-free diets. <\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n Before you open a bottle of whisky, it lasts indefinitely and you can keep it on your shelf for as long as you like. <\/p>\n Once you've cracked it open for a glass, however, the clock starts ticking and you'll have one to two years until it's gone bad. <\/p>\n If you're wondering how to tell if your whisky has gone off, experts advise looking out for any change in smell or a sour, metallic taste. <\/p>\n According to Drinkaware UK, a standard whisky and mixer contains 117 calories. <\/p>\n Whisky has a high ABV when compared to other types of alcohol, and is usually mixed with sugary drinks, which can increase the amount of calories you're consuming more than you may think. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dsc05902-JS846427207-1.jpg\")
