Scotland is not the only country famous for producing malt whisky. In fact, it isn't even the world's largest producer of whisky. Below you will the best whiskies the rest of the world has to offer.
Although we Scots are rightfully proud of our national drink, we have to admit that a good dram can come from almost anywhere in the world - these international whiskies are a testament to that!
Volume III in Teeling's The Revival series is a 14-year-old whiskey. Matured initially in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished for the final year in Pineau-des-Charentes casks, this has notes of dried fruit, toffee, almonds and chocolate.
The second release of Amrut's Double Cask is a blend of two whiskies: one aged in a bourbon cask from June 2009 and one PX sherry cask from May 2010. This shows excellent balance between sweet vanilla and coconut flavours from American oak and rich fruit from the European wood.
The first ever release of Indian single malt rye. Made with European rye and aged for five years in American oak, this is fruity and floral with notes of sweet spice. A unique whisky that's much more elegant than is usual for Amrut.
Distilled in 1991, this 24-year-old whiskey from Teeling was aged initially in bourbon barrels before being finished in Sauternes casks. Made with a small amount of peated malt, this is a subtly sweet whiskey with notes of ripe fruit and a hint of smoke.
A rare long-aged Irish whiskey, limited to just 275 bottles, from Teeling. Matured in a pair of bourbon barrels for 33 years, this is complex, floral and lightly spicy. The presentation includes a hand-bound booklet detailing the history of the release.
