The summer Amazon Prime Day may be long gone, but now we have Prime Big Deal Days – or Prime Day 2 as some are calling it. That means the deals are back, and beer, wine and spirits are available at bargain prices. However, with so much choice, how can you find the right bottle of whisky to add to your drinks cabinet?

Well, I've been making good use of the Prime Day sales over the years to get my hands on some fine Scotch, Irish and even Japanese whiskies - often with major discounts. And this year's event is no different.

I've tagged five of my favourites that either are or could be part of the event, so here are my recommendations for you to do the same.

I'll soon be enjoying them along with the best gin deals and best bourbon deals - hopefully you will too.

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky: was £41, now £28.99 at Amazon

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky: was £41, now £28.99 at Amazon
I've not seen this fine, double oak-aged single malt at this price before. It could be one that'll be snapped up sharpish so don't delay if you like a smooth, creamy scotch.

Jameson Black Barrel Blended Irish Whiskey: was £38.20, now £27.05 at Amazon

Jameson Black Barrel Blended Irish Whiskey: was £38.20, now £27.05 at Amazon
One of the finest reasonably priced (especially in the sales) whiskies from the Jameson distillery - this is matured in a combination of barrels, including those that have been double-charred to give it a richer flavour than conventional Jameson blends.

Nikka From The Barrel Blended Japanese Whisky: was £45.60, now £38.90 at Amazon

Nikka From The Barrel Blended Japanese Whisky: was £45.60, now £38.90 at Amazon
One of my favourite Japanese whiskies which always has a place in my cabinet, Nikka From The Barrel only comes in a 50cl bottle due to its 51% ABV but is still super smooth to drink. It is blended from different 10-year-old liquids taken from Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries.

Jura 10 Year Old Single Malt with 2 Glasses: was £40.00, now £28.99 at Amazon

Jura 10 Year Old Single Malt with 2 Glasses: was £40.00, now £28.99 at Amazon
Jura's 10 Year Old single malt is a fine, throaty favourite, and is even more a bargain when you get 2 free glasses thrown in.

Johnnie Walker Gold Label: was £53, now £38.94 at Amazon

Johnnie Walker Gold Label: was £53, now £38.94 at Amazon
Not only is this a classic blended whisky, but its discount puts it at a more affordable price point. You won't mind sharing this treat with friends, with its notes of spice and vanilla making it an ideal after dinner tipple.

To be honest, there are a fair few other whiskies reduced for this year's Prime Big Deal Days sales that I would heartily recommend. However, the five above are perennial faves.

It's worth remembering that you also need to be a Prime member to benefit from the discounts.

You'll also need Prime for decent Lightning deals on spirits, free same- and next-day delivery, and future Amazon sales events.

Sláinte!
