THREE of Aldi's whiskies have been named among the "best in the world" at an international awards event just in time for Father's Day.
The supermarket's Glen Marnoch Highland Single Scotch Whisky, Highland Earl Blended Scotch Whisky and Samuel Joe’s Straight Kentucky Bourbon defeated competitors at the prestigious International Spirits Challenge.
At just £18.49 for a 70cl bottle, Glen Marnoch Highland Single Scotch Whisky beat the likes of M&S within the Single Malts category, as well as premium brand Lochlea Distillery, which costs £45.
And the bottle is £29.51 cheaper than Talisker Skye Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which is priced at £48 - but is currently discounted at £28 on The Bar.
Both whiskies are produced in Scotland and they have similar alcohol percentages - Aldi's own brand has 40% and the Talisker whisky has 45.8% alcohol.

The other Aldi own-brand whiskies that won the prizes in the ISC also have competitive prices as Highland Earl Blended Scotch Whisky costs £16.89 for a 1l bottle, while Samuel Joe Straight Kentucky Bourbon is priced at £14.99 for a 70cl bottle.
The nation's cheapest supermarket also took home three silvers for its Highland Black Blended Scotch Whisky (£15.99, 70cl), Glen Marnoch Speyside Single Malt Whisky (£18.49, 70cl) and Glen Marnoch Islay Single Malt Whisky (£18.49, 70cl) at ISC.
The retailer's whisky range has already been awarded 15 medals at international competitions in the last 12 months.
Julie Ashfield, managing director of Buying at Aldi UK, says: "To have won three gold and three silver medals at such a prestigious competition is quite an accolade.
"This industry recognition helps to prove that great quality doesn't have to come with a luxury price tag and customers can be confident they're saving money with us, whilst getting the best whisky taste and experience."
Earlier this year, Aldi's own-brand Haysmith’s Seville orange and Persian lime gin was named the "best in the UK" as it won gold at the The World Gin Awards - the highest accolade at the ceremony.
The gin won the Best in Country award, as well as being crowned the Best in Britain within the flavoured Gin category.
The 70cl gin contains 40% alcohol and beats competitors including Tanqueray and Sipsmith on price.
