The Speyside malts are pretty underrated in my opinion. Equally, Bells and Famous Grouse, _are_ the purest expression of what Scotch is, and in fact not that easy to get hold of outside of Scotland as we scots might presume.
- orf 5y agoBells and Famous Grouse are available everywhere in the UK? Everywhere that sells any whiskey sells them almost by default.
- ecommerceguy 5y agoWhen I think Speyside I think Macallan.
- fergie 5y agoSorry, should have said "outside of the UK" then. I have been living overseas for a couple of decades, and Bells/Grouse/Teachers are not that easy to come by. Internationally, at least in my experience, Johnny Walker and Chivas Regal seem to be the more common "name" blends, supplemented by all sorts of weird "only for export" brands. You can also get hold of the big single malts pretty easily. Its actually not always that easy to get hold of the standard Scottish "cooking whiskies" which means that a lot of people outside of the UK have a different starting point for defining what Scotch is.
