Here you have it! 4 of the best scotch brands you will ever find in the market.
Trying to find the best scotch brands can be a bit of a tall task on its own, with so many different incredible options to pick and choose from.
At the same time, however, your subscription to Whisky Flavour is going to make it a lot easier to try a whole bunch of different scotch options – and you’re bound to find a favorite (or a dozen new favorites) over the course of the year as your whisky deliveries come in.
When it comes to Scotch, finding the best brands is, afterall, a very personal choice. In the end, they will end up being the brands with qualities you enjoy best: long or short finish, smoky or sweet aromas, spicy or oak flavour, blended or single malt.
However, we have chosen 4 scotch brands that had been a perfect fit for the general public and we thought you might like it.
Here are some of the best scotch brands that you may find sample bottles from in each of your Whisky Flavour deliveries!
Best Scotch Brands
Aberfeldy 12 years
One of the most impressive (and affordable) single malt scotch options available on the market today, this particular scotch makes of the backbone of the Dewar’s blend. It offers smoky, spicy, and smooth notes all the way through.
The Aberfeld 12 years has also notes of vanilla, spices, honey and orange, which make this scotch perfectly balanced. Though not perfectly refined, it’s a top-notch scotch that you aren’t going to want to miss out on.
Laphroaig Quarter Cask
The second of the best scotch brands we choose to present you is the Laphroaig Quarter Cask.
If you just can’t get enough of the heat that top-quality scotch options bring to the table you are going to fall in love with Laphroaig Quarter Cask. This is definitely not a common scotch.
This Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured in smaller quarter casks, in its final stage, so it ends up being more exposed to the wood than other single malts. As a result, one will taste a more heated and smoked whisky.
Also, this exposure guarantees the scotch to melow out and allow more complex flavors to come through. It begins with notes of vanilla and honey and have a perfect poignant finish.
You’ll get that campfire-like taste you are expecting and plenty of heat.
Aberlour A’bunadh
Offering the kind of twist you are expecting from a strong scotch and having a complexity that is really hard to find in other scothes, this is easily one of the best scotch brands you are going to come across.
By maturing in Oloroso Sherry Oak this scotch really allows the ancillary notes and “hidden” flavors to come out. Also, it is made only from traditional methods which gives it a very special character.
When you smell it, you’ll find notes of praliné, orange and pepper. When you taste it, you’ll find black sherries, ginger and dark chocolate, among others. With a long and creamy finish, this is a whisky that you definitly might want to taste.
If you’re lucky enough to grab a bottle as part of your Whisky Flavour membership you’re going to savor every drop.
Lagavulin
Easily one of the most popular bottles of scotch on the planet today, and certainly one of the best scotch brands you are going to find available for sale. This is the kind of scotch people go absolutely crazy for – and for good reason.
The peat has just the right amount of smokiness, the dryness is just where you want it to be, and the toffee and sweetness on your palette really elevates the leather and campfire taste that the scotch rolls out at the very end.
