Let’s take a step back and not think ‘yes’ or ‘no’, but instead appreciate the best Scotch whisky currently available on the market.

 

Bell’s

 

Bell’s is the premium blended Scotch whisky owned by drinks giant Diageo. It has maintained steady volumes over the past year to secure its spot as one of the world’s favourite Scotch brands.

 Label 5

Label 5 blended Scotch whisky continues to grow from strength to strength. It has held a steady place in the market over recent years not just in the UK but all over the globe.

 

The Famous Grouse

The Famous Grouse is famous for a reason. Its line up this year has helped to drive sales of the brand over the last 12 months, with particular attention being paid to the Snow Grouse and Black Grouse editions.

 

William Grant’s

William Grant has managed to maintain its position as the world’s fifth largest Scotch whisky brand despite being up against fierce competition including Dewar’s and Famous Grouse.

 

J & B Rare

Diageo’s other big whisky brand counts the US, South East Asia, Spain, France and Portugal among its biggest consumers.
