Finding the best Scotch Whisky is fun ... so try as many as you can!Despite awards which talk about the best Scotch Whisky, in reality, the really exciting characteristic of this drink is that every one you try is different. My advice is to go out there and really enjoy finding your own best scotch whisky. If you feel as though you get as excited about not only the drink, but the history and the culture that surrounds whisky, what it stands for, and the beautiful areas of the world then why not enjoy visiting the fantastically beautiful country of
Scotland.
Personally experience the pleasure and history of a distillery , as well as taking a dram of as many of the different single malt whisky examples as you possibly can. All this is part of the fantastic journey, that is finding your personal best scotch whisky! In the 1970's and 80's the worldwide Whiskey industry was dominated by blended products, and all the talk was about the history and the geography associated with the drink. The attention started to shift to what makes Whisky unique. Over the last few years interest has grown in the aspects of Scotch Whisky that make each and every one unique. It is about every one having a unique taste, a different nose, or smell, and of course those exciting colours. During the previously mentioned decades, to find the best Scotch Whisky was pretty tough, because malt was a secret. It was only sampled in small quantities in Scotland, and it was mainly used as a constituent of blended whisky, which was the bulk of the whiskey produced. As the 1990's appeared, the interest in Whiskey was being driven by Malt Whiskey The sheer number of new and exciting examples of Malt Whiskey becoming available was growing dramatically. It was the interest that malt whiskey generated, all very different, all very unique in their characteristics, that really helped supercharge the popularity of this fabulous drink, widening the market appeal, and offering consumers a chance of finding their own personal best scotch whisky.

Wonderous Malt WhiskyThe world is becoming so much smaller!I've sampled my own personal favorite scotch whisky in Tokyo, Japan, whilst I've also enjoyed a Bourbon on the ski slopes of France. Globalisation of this, and many other markets, has played a major part in seeing the message spread, and the huge increase in the popularity of Whiskey. As we all travel more, we experience new sights, sounds and of course pleasures such as trying to find our own personal best scotch whisky! Scotland is playing it's part in this growth. They are actually now seeing a growth of new distilleries. In Fife, a glorious part of the world, a new operation called Ladybank was established in early 2005, and Blackwood from the beautiful Shetland Islands, started distilling in late 2004. In the lowlands, the Bladnoch distillery, which had long been closed, re opened. The beauty of these operations are that they are independent. They use local barley, local water and the typically Scottish environment to provide small quantities of unique malts ensuring the interest of this lovely drink continues. In 2000, after being closed for some years the Ardberg and Bruichladdich distilleries re- opened, both under new management, both confirming the resurgence on the island of Islay. The Whiskey from Islay is glorious and is my personal "best Whiskey". Like the Scotch, the region is lovely and a visit is a major element in the search for your own personal best whisky So which is best?So ... I guess I've not answered my own question, or maybe the answers you were perhaps looking for.The best Scotch Whisky is probably one of hundreds. Maybe it's one that you have sampled in the Highlands, maybe it's one that you tried in the Lowlands, maybe it's one that has been produced to celebrate a special occasion, and just maybe it's not been bottled yet, or one you have yet to find ... so go on and enjoy trying to find your favorite.
