OK, I confess: the first thing I typed into my Amazon app this morning was ‘Black Friday whisky deals’.
I just can’t help myself - I love the opportunity these big sales give me to step up a notch or two in my monthly whisky purchase, selecting drams that are usually outside the budget I set myself.
