9 best whiskies from around the world

Sample drams from India, Denmark, Japan and beyond - (John Clarke/The Independent)

From the best Scotch whisky to premium collector bottles, there’s more choice than ever when it comes to the best whiskies — and with so many retailers competing, there are also more opportunities than ever to find some of the best whisky deals if you know where to look. While the drink may have strong ties to Scotland, there are now more offerings from around the world than ever, hailing from a growing number of different countries.

In the UK alone, it’s possible to sample whiskies from Scotland, obviously, but also England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Bourbon whiskey has always been a popular drink in the US, while Japan has been producing quality whiskies since the 1920s. India is a more recent entrant into the market, while even a country as small as Iceland now has its own whiskey distillery.
