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!
A super release from Jameson, with a high proportion of Irish pot still whiskey as well as small batch grain. The result is an increased body and level of richness giving it a much richer flavour than regular Jameson.
Mackmyra's core expression is a light Swedish whisky matured primarily in first fill bourbon barrels but also includes whisky aged in Sherry and Swedish oak casks. The award winning whisky is light, well-balanced and fruity dram with a touch of spicy juniper smoke.
Glendalough Double Barrel is a single grain Irish whiskey, aged in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks. Sweet and creamy, with butterscotch and honey from the American oak and dried fruit from the Spanish.
Since the Teelings parted company with Cooley, the company they started, we've been waiting for their return and here it is – Teeling Whiskey. Finished in rum casks and bottled at 46% without chill-filtration, it's an excellent statement of intent. The blend is said to contain a high proportion of first-fill bourbon cask whiskey, and a higher-than-normal ratio of malt to grain.
This limited-edition release of The One comes from the team at the Lakes Distillery. A blend of whiskies from around the British Isles, this was finished in oloroso sherry hogsheads at the fledgling Cumbrian distillery and released in 2015.
