I'm currently drinking a Glen Marnoch Highland Single Malt.
Glen Marnoch is a weird range, they have three Single Malts; Islay, Highland and Speyside. However, they are not a distillery, it's a made up brand for German supermarket chain Aldi. Who actually produces the whisky isn't publicized, because whoever it is does not want to damage their brand by being associated with a budget supermarket chain.
However, what that means is we have a single malt from a potentially skilled distillery at around $20 a bottle. As such, the Highland and Speyside tend to be my go to bottles; they're both very tasty and affordable whiskys, my two priorities when purchasing! The Islay isn't my cup of tea, it has a very harsh, peaty taste. I'll drink it, but I'll stick in an ice cube or two, whereas generally I drink my whisky neat (or with two or three ice stones that reduce the temperature but don't add water to the whisky).
I did say I wouldn't drink on days that weren't Friday or Saturday, but it's not something I've been able to stick to.
