The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale – better known as the October Prime Day – is finally here! These events are fantastic opportunities for shoppers to snag some bargains, with deals on a wide range of products.

We often talk about how good these events are for buying new tech. Those items tend to see some of the biggest discounts, with huge reductions on offer.

This year, though, I'm taking the opportunity to restock my drinks cabinet instead. There's a wide range of deals on rum, whiskey and more – and these are the ones I'm picking out!

Bulleit Bourbon 10 year old Whiskey: was £41, now £30 at Amazon
While we're stocking up on smooth bourbons, I can't pass up this 10 year old Bulleit bottle. Smooth enough to sip and bold enough to make a cracking Old Fashioned, this is a no brainer.

Frangelico Italian Hazlenut Liqueur: was £16.75, now £13.87 at Amazon
I'm going to let you in on a secret, dear reader – this is the secret sauce. Slap it in a boozy iced coffee – or a really boozy espresso martini – and you'll just love the results. It's only a few quid off, but every little helps.
