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

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, best rums, 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 Big Deal Days offers. Just make sure you leave one bottle for me.

Maker's Mark 46: was £50 now £32.70 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.

Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack Tennesse Whiskey: was £36 now £22 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 £36.74 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.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select: was £47 now £34.99 at Amazon UK

A real step up from the common bottle of Jack Daniel's, this single barrel select edition offers a smooth experience, with vanilla notes and a peppery, refined finish.

Jim Beam Single Barrel Craft Bourbon: was £39.94 now £29 at Amazon UK

Another single barrel bourbon worth considering, the Jim Beam comes from a selected batch and comes with a deeper flavour than usual – hints of oak, caramel and vanilla, with a lingering spiciness.

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 Prime Big Deal Days sale, 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.
