Whisky by flavour

Pick a flavour to see the bottles that lean that way, with the best current price from the UK retailers we check. A bottle can sit under several flavours: most whiskies are sweet and fruity before they are anything else.

We place bottles from tasting notes, not from marketing copy. Where a bottle has enough notes of its own we use those. Otherwise we fall back on the distillery’s core range and adjust it with what the label tells us (peat, cask, style), and we ask more of that fallback before listing a bottle. Taste is personal and notes are noisy, so treat these pages as a starting point. For smoke levels by label, see peat and smoke.
