- from this list is not difficult to see, the birthplace of single malt whisky-the strength of Scotland is still not to be underestimated, this top 10 occupies 6 positions. Among them, McAllen still occupies a dominant position.
- Japan, as an emerging power in the whisky world, has been strong in the past few years, and has continued for a long time after its rapid rise to popularity. Just 2 years ago, there were 7 Japanese whiskeys in this top 10 list. This situation seems to have changed, and there are only 3 models left on this year's list.
- is even more startling than the decline of Japanese whisky. I am afraid that Indian whisky is on the list. Although in the single malt whisky list, only the last one is Indian whiskey, according to WS data, in the top 10 most popular blended whiskies list, except for 3 from Scotland, the rest are all from India. !
- Secondly, among the many thousand-dollar whiskeys, Glenfiddich's 100-dollar classic whisky can occupy the second place, which is also very eye-catching. The single malt whisky with the largest sales in the world is definitely the first choice for beginners.
