Before revealing this list, let's talk about the classification of whiskey.
Because there are always some problems in the whiskey world: Is it appropriate to include all types of whiskey in a big list for comparison? Should they be distinguished by malt, blend and bourbon? How to classify Irish or Canadian whiskey?
is different from wines classified by variety or region, the classification of whiskey is much more complicated.
Therefore, the wine search site Wine-Searcher launched a discussion on whiskey according to the following categories:
First of all, bourbon is quite different, it is clearly defined and can be clearly distinguished from Scotch whiskey, Irish whiskey and other whiskeys. Come, so you can list a separate category to discuss.
Next, we look at Indian whiskey . The rapid growth of Indian whiskey lovers has a significant impact on the statistics of search results, so that of the 10 most searched blended whiskies, 3 are Scottish blended whiskies, and the remaining 7 are Indian blended whiskies. In order to eliminate the effect of this exaggeration, let's discuss malt whisky separately.
Of course, some people search for malt whiskey out of curiosity about the expensive wines in the market, rather than actually buying them.
single malt whisky is the purest representative of Scotch whisky. The products of a single winery have slightly different tastes and have their own followers. Because of this, Scotch whisky is very special, and almost everyone can choose the wine they like.
Therefore, single malt whisky deserves a separate list. Below is the ranking of the world's most searched 10 single malt whiskies on the Wine-Searcher website:
1. Macallan Lalique 72 years , reference price 116498 US dollars.

Although the overall search volume of the Wine-Searcher website has increased significantly, the search ranking of Japanese whiskey is declining.
However, some old whiskey brands have startedRejuvenation. Wines like
Macallan Lalique always attract people's attention due to their rarity and high price.
and the best-selling wines tend to have average search rankings. After all, some wines are easily available in local stores without the need to check online.

For those who are new to whiskey, it is often the first choice for "pitting". The same is true for Glen Witt, known as the "origin of single malt whisky."
