The world's best whisky... for about the price of a movie ticket
A £13.49 bottle of supermarket scotch was named the ‘Best Scotch Whisky’ at the World Whiskies Awards, the Independent reported on Wednesday.
The Queen Margot Blend Scotch Whisky from budget German grocery chain Lidl was the top shelf pick by 40 international experts at the annual event, which honors “the very best in all internationally recognized styles of drinks.” Their refined palates preferred Lidl’s eight-year-old blended scotch whisky over more expensive pours like the 12-year-old Johnnie Walker Black Label, which costs more than twice as much at upwards of $35 for a 750-milliliter bottle at some online stores.
A £13.49 bottle of Lidl whisky has been named one of the best in the world https://t.co/vDOj6bIZNX pic.twitter.com/n2tBHLZjK6 — The Scotsman February 27, 2019 Lidl describes its Queen Margot blend imbued with dried apricot and plum as “smooth with a rich sweetness and depth of flavour, leaving a warm, lingering finish.” The Queen Margot spent eight years mellowing in oak casks, and as a result, “the taste holds more barrel character, where a little concentration from time in cask gives wood spice length of finish.”This isn’t Lidl’s first alcoholic upset.
And last May, an $8 bottle of Exquisite Collection Cotes de Provence Rose available at rival German discount grocery chain Aldi earned a silver medal at the International Wine Challenge that pits super-expensive wines against affordable ones to find the best.
