5 best bourbons I recommend in the early Amazon Big Deal Days sale

Here are 5 whiskey favourites that'll save you a bundle

Traditionally, the Amazon Prime Day and Big Deal Days sales are great for tech products, especially Amazon's own devices, and appliances – with massive bargains to be had. However, if like me you enjoy a tipple or two, there are some amazing deals on spirits too.

In fact, thanks to Amazon's sales periods and Black Friday, I have a stocked drinks cabinet full of the best whiskies from both sides of the Atlantic, the best gins and a few other alcoholic oddities I might otherwise have never tried.

So, here are my picks of the five bourbon whiskies that are available with some great pre-Big Deal Days offers. Just make sure you leave one bottle for me.

Maker's Mark 46: was £50 now £34.49 at Amazon UK

A superb trade-up bourbon from a familiar brand, this has the Marker's Mark taste signature of caramel and vanilla, but with a smoother finish than usual. It's my favourite to use for an Old Fashioned.

Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey: was £32.50 now £24 at Amazon UK

A stock favourite that goes well as a mixer, neat or on the rocks, this Kentucky bourbon has high-rye content and a nutty but smooth flavour. It's not as sweet as some other brands, so is more universal.

Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey: was £45 now £30 at Amazon UK

Okay, so this is a rye not a bourbon, but it's a particularly good one, with a spicy yet smooth finish that honours the traditions of New Orleans. It's also distilled by Buffalo Trace, so has a fine heritage.

Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack Tennesse Whiskey: was £36 now £26 at Amazon UK

Double mellowed and utterly delicious, Gentleman Jack has a smoother, more refined signature to the stock Old No 7 Jack Daniel's is best known for. It's one that's always in my drinks cabinet, especially at this price.

Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: was £46 now £41.24 at Amazon UK

For me, this is a must-have in the drinks cabinet. Smooth and rich, this is a great after-dinner bourbon served neat or on the rocks. It's also a great base for an old fashioned. Even the bottle looks classy.

Each of the above are top-notch treats which I've tried myself and thoroughly recommend. They are also currently available to all customers.

Remember though, you will need to be a Prime member to take advantage of any of the offers during the actual Amazon's Big Deal Days sale once it starts on 8 October 2024, but I've found it to be worth it – not least because you can take out a 30-day trial if you're a new subscriber.

I and my drinks cabinet have certainly benefitted greatly over the years.
