The coveted Glenbridge 40 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is predicted to sell out within hours and could even appear for sale on eBay as hard-up Brits look to capitalise on the amazing deal.

Aldi's spirits buyer said: "Whisky of this quality and age would usually sell for around £300-plus.

"Aldi is giving customers the chance to get hold of a very high-quality luxury product for a very low price."

The Speyside Single Malt comes from one of Scotland's finest distilleries and has been matured in European oak sherry casks, resulting in a very intense and rich flavour. With an aroma of dark chocolate and dried figs, the sweet taste gives off a marmalade zestiness, and the dry oak tannins fade into a lingering sweet and mellow finish.

Glenbridge 40 Year Old Single Malt Whisky costs £49.99 for a 70cl bottle (40% ABV) and will be on sale in Aldi from 8th December, available while stocks lasts.
