When is Black Friday 2023?
Black Friday originated in the US as a post-thanksgiving sale and traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season, always beginning on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
This year, Black Friday will take place on Friday, November 24, but retailers have begun to drop sales all month in a wave of early Black Friday sales allowing you to grab a few presents early.
When does the Whiskey Black Friday sale end?
The bargains on Black Friday 2023 will start on November 24 and finish at midnight on the 25th of November.
If you are unable to take advantage of Black Friday specials, there will always be Cyber Monday discounts available, so try not to miss out on them.
It's also conceivable that they will extend the current offers through Cyber Monday. You should absolutely seize whatever you desire if you see it on the 24th for less, but you shouldn't gamble on it.

When is Cyber Monday 2023?

Nowadays, Black Friday sales are also online, so these competing sales events have merged into one massive weekend-long sales event.
Cyber Monday falls on November 27 this year.
Is whisky gluten-free?
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.
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.

Does whisky go off?
Before you open a bottle of whisky, it lasts indefinitely, and you can keep it on your shelf for as long as you like.
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.
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.
How many calories are in whisky?
According to Drinkaware UK, a standard whisky and mixer contains 117 calories.
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.
