The worlds favourite whiskies
Bear in mind a case is usually 6 bottles, though not always the case! (confused? Read on) Blends are still number one in sales overall. My own favourites are not in here, I am normally a single malt man. Out of these listed below I have tried and liked; Chivas Regal 12 Year Old, Ballantine’s and William Lawson’s, but no way do they compare (to me) with single malts, or – some unique blends I have tried lately. It may be a surprise to some how high up in the tables are the French! FRANCE 85.9 million pounds in 6 months. OR 198,117,427 bottles.
