Make your own, probably come in about 75p a bottle.
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 is a fad
Whisky is an institution
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.
Here you go Buc.
Irish whiskey sales were worth €505 million in 2016
