    It's a it of a radge that we have to pay premium prices for our own national drink, I wonder what the cost of a single malt would be without vat and taxes.

    About 75-80% of the price of a bottle of whisky is tax. But all alcoholic drinks have a whacking great tax on them.

    The answer to you question Buc is £3 in every £4 spent on Scotch Whisky in the UK is collected in tax by HM Treasury. Of course that's just the internal market exports are worth just under 5Bn to the UK. Worth noting inaw Scottish Gin is now making big bucks at home and abroad catching up on Whisky.

    Gin isn't catching up on whisky.

    Gin is a fad

    Whisky is an institution

    Agreed its got a fair bit to go but its a lot bigger than in used to be. Scottish craft Gin is indeed big business ..worth aboot £1.76bn to the UK economy and about 70% of it is produced in Scotland and its growing.

    Funnily enough I was reading about Irish Whisky taking in over £2bn (verified)to the Irish economy but they have only between 2_4% of the whisky market .
    But Scotland has 80% of the whisky market taking in £5bn I'm not sure how that figures add up I'm happy to be proved otherwise .
    Or indeed told what I read is utter bull.
