In terms of export, Scotch whisky amasses approximately 90% of all export sales combined in England and is a principle export commodity. This income is in great part foreign currency. This trend has been followed since the turn of the 19-century as the value of overseas marketing was discovered.Between 15-20% of all scotch whisky consumed in Scotland is first purchased in Britain. Although the rea
As new Irish and Scottish immigrants tried to settle on the American continent they brought with them the distilling methods of scotch whiskey.

Somewhere between Glasgow and Los Angeles a shipment of rare whisky valued at $240,000 has gone missing. Saybrex International, the Beverly Hills-based importer, says Delta Airlines and government agencies handling the shipment have been unable to explain the case of the missing liquid cargo.Saybrex says 186 bottles of 32-year-old Highland Park that came from a single cask cleared customs in Glasgow and was delivered to Delta Airlines for shipment to the U.S. The problem is that the 31 cartons containing the whisky, each bottle carrying with it a hefty $1,290 price tag, never arrived. U.K. Revenue and Customs believes the shipment left the country.The investigation into the missing rare Scotch is continuing.

Diageo PLC,the London-based drinks giant, says demand from developing Scotch markets will boost sales by 8 to 9 percent annually.

By: Elmo Kandel As new Irish and Scottish immigrants tried to settle on the American continent they brought with them the distilling methods of scotch whiskey. Finding the new raw materials different that what they were accustomed to, they lead the way for an evolution of new scotch now known merely as whiskey.

By: Elmo Kandel The production of Scotch whisky takes time, a lot of time. It is a tedious process that can take years. However when it is done correctly, the product is one worth waiting for. Barley is placed in deep tanks of water for approximately three days. As the moisture increases it promotes the germination process. After the germination process, the barley is then moved to the malting segment of the distillery where it will go into drums sometimes known as the malting floor.The entire purpose of the germination process is to convert the starch in the grains into fermentable sugars. This will feed the yeast in the fermentation stage. Turning the barley frequently ensures the temperature will remain consistent. Sheils, another name for a wooden shovel, are used to turn the grains, on a traditional malting floor. The grains will die if the temperature reaches above 22 degrees, and will the stop the entire process as the starch will not be converted to sugar. The grain is then kil

Where does your Scotch come from? The British government is taking steps be make sure the answer is Scotland and to give consumers more assurance that products labeled as "Islay" or "Speyside" are actually from those appellations.The United Kingdom Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is working on tighter definitions on Scotch whisky classifications, including requiring that all aging be completed in Scotland. The new rules would require all labels to list a Scotch as one of five types of product: Single Malt Scotch whisky, Single Grain Scotch whisky, Blended Scotch whisky, Blended Malt Scotch whisky and Blended Grain Scotch whisky.The U.K. is acting as the European Union is offering greater protection to Scotch makers against distillers from outside of the country labeling products as "Scotch" or calling a whisky made elsewhere as a "Highland Malt." The rules under review would also place requirements that brands that use Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Campbeltown or Isla

The world's appetite for Scotch whisky continues to grow. You have to wonder how many hangovers the $4.94 billion in export sales caused during 2006.The Scotch Whisky Association says 2006 was a record year for sales, with exports increasing by 4 percent. The total beat out the old record set back in 1997. Blended Scotch accounted for $3.79 billion in exports, with single malts increasing sales by 7 percent. Scotch sales in the United Kingdom declined last year.
Single Malt Scotch gets most of the drinks media's attention when it comes to whisky from the United Kingdom. They tend to be heavily promoted by distilleries and they come with higher price tags than most blends. Single Malts are perceived as the art and craft of the distilling world. Now a world renowned Scotch expert has stirred up the Scotch universe by naming a blend as his Whisky of the Year for the first time ever.
Jim Murray, the author of the Complete Book of Whiskey and Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, has named Old Parr Superior 18 Year Old as Whisky of the Year. He awarded the blend bottled by MacDonald Greenlees Distillers and marketed by Diageo a 97 out of 100 points in the new edition of the Whisky Bible, matching the highest point total ever awarded by Murray.
Much of the Old Parr Superior production is sold in Asia and through duty free stores, meaning that it may be hard for average Scotch fans to locate. Murray named White Horse 12 Years Old as the Blended Scotch Whi
First it was a ban on street sales from beer trucks, now Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is taking aim at Scotch by announcing plans for a 15 percent luxury tax on whisky.
The cost of imported spirits have already jumped 50 percent since this summer, when the Chavez government imposed foreign currency restrictions and linked all transactions involving imports to the official exchange rate for bolivares.
Venezuela loves its whisky. It is the seventh largest market for Scotch in the world and sales have increased as oil wealth flows into the country. The Scotch Whiksy Association pegs the value of Scotch sales to the South American nation at $145.2 million. It has aksed the European Commission to look into the situation as a possible international trade rule violation.
The emerging middle class in China and the size of the nation's economy have already been cited as factors in rising crude oil prices. Now consumers from Beijing to Shanghai are being blamed for draining the world's liquor cabinet of Scotch.
Imports of Scotch to China have skyrocketed in just the last few years, up from $2.9 million in 2001 to more than $90 million in 2005. China is expected to join the world's top 10 Scotch consuming nations this year and, with sales up 84 percent last year alone, it appears Chinese consumers have developed a love for the Highlands.
The Scotch Whisky Association notes that distilleries currently have 18.5 million casks maturing so there is no impending shortage of Scotch. However, Scotch prices have crept upward and the demand of a major new market like China places particular pressure on a category of product that has developed its worldwide appeal through the exclusivity of Single Malts and through aging whiskies 12, 18 and 25 years.
