The Only 6 Scotch Brands the Scots Still Buy (The Buy It For Life List)

The best Scotch whisky in Scotland is not the bottle on the airport trophy wall. Walk past the auction estimates and the locked cases, the Macallan that sold for over two million pounds, and into a real Scottish home. This is the cheap Scotch whisky a Scot actually pours on a Tuesday night, and almost none of it costs more than twenty pounds. Get the full breakdown of every bottle in The Barrel Standard Guide: [jouw Gumroad-link] More than nine in ten bottles of Scotch whisky are built to leave the country. Johnnie Walker, Chivas Regal and Macallan sell an image to the rest of the world, while the whisky the Scots keep for themselves sits on a shelf nobody is trying to impress. In this video we count down the six Scotch whisky brands people there actually drink. We start with the blends. High Commissioner, the cheapest honest bottle in the country. Then Bell's, Arthur Bell's hundred and seventy year old blend that was once the best-selling whisky in Britain. And Grant's, the oldest family-owned blended Scotch in the world. From there the shelf turns to single malt Scotch whisky. Glenmorangie, Scotland's favourite single malt since 1983, distilled on the tallest copper stills in the country and now owned in Paris. Glenfiddich, the family-owned house in Speyside that built the entire single malt category. And at number one, The Famous Grouse, the best-selling Scotch whisky in Scotland for over forty years, blended by the same company that owns Macallan, yet sold for the price of two cinema tickets. By the end you will know exactly where a Scot spends his money on whisky, and where the rest of the world is just paying for the box. #scotch #scotchwhisky #whisky #singlemalt #blendedscotch #glenfiddich #glenmorangie #thefamousgrouse #speyside #bourbon #whiskey #barrelstandard
