The best value core range 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky has swapped between Deanston and Ledaig, however the Lowest Price remains Glen Moray 18 which is let down only by the colour statement.
The whisky in the list with the biggest price jump is Glencadam 18 with an average £57 rise just this year.
Honorary mention for Tobermory 18 Year Old (link new window) which wasn't in this list since it is a German Exclusive, however, the current retail price of £137 from The Whisky Exchange (link new window) would give it a value score of 92.7 out of 100 giving it 8th place.
*Registration will open shortly however there will be a small registration fee to cover our operational costs.
