Where do you go to buy a good whisky? Supermarkets, licensed retailers and airport duty free shops around the world are following the rising popularity of whisky by expanding their ranges accordingly. However, if you want a whisky that is slightly less mainstream, then you can visit a specialist whisky retailer. These have highly knowledgeable staff to help you and will supply whiskies from lesser known distilleries, independent bottling companies and other whisky related products.
