This Week’s Best Whisky Deals: Whiskies for Cold Days

The temperatures have dropped, so we’re spending more time indoors and cranking up the coziness. A crackling fire in the wood or pellet stove is just the thing for days like these. Maybe you turn the heating up a notch—and if that still doesn’t do the trick, a sip of the water of life will. That’ll warm you to the core. In this new roundup of whisky deals, you’ll find heartwarming offers worth raising a glass to.

Fans of the brand might need a moment to get used to the refreshed bottle and packaging, but the classic Orkney spirit is very much intact. This Highland Park delivers a balanced interplay of sweetness, spice, and that signature heathery smoke. It’s matured in a mix of hand-selected, sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, with additional refill casks.

The result is a single malt that harmonizes sweet, spicy, and smoky notes. You can pick up a bottle on sale at for under fifty euros.

The Campbeltown region (one of Scotland’s five) was once the beating heart of the whisky industry. With its natural harbor on Scotland’s west coast, it boasted more than 30 distilleries at its peak. This blended malt showcases the distilleries that are still active today.

Douglas Laing keeps the exact proportions under wraps, but you can be sure Springbank, Glen Scotia, and Glengyle are in the mix. Seize the moment and savor a dram from the “bay of storms” (the literal meaning of The Gauldrons) and let the tempest swirl in your glass. You’ll find a bottle now for around forty euros.

One of Scotland’s oldest whisky families stands behind these independent bottlings. Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers has close ties to Islay, though they don’t reveal which distillery crafted the spirit in this single malt. What we can say: it’s a spot-on choice to warm you right up, and it’ll set you back just over 60 euros.
