Where to buy exclusive Scotch whiskies
If you’re exploring the distilleries of Scotland, it’s always useful to have a list of distilleries that are selling something that little bit more unique – a piece of Scotch whisky history; a chance to make your mark on the development of a new distillery; or perhaps just something to add to your cabinet that’s rare, exceptional and most importantly, a delicious memento from your visit.
But where to start looking for the perfect Scotch whisky to add to your collection, your investments, or your cabinet?
Here at the Scotch Whisky Experience, we work with more than 90% of the Scotch whisky industry, so we asked the distilleries of Scotland to tell us about their exclusive releases that are available to the public. Have a read of the blog here!
