World Whisky

World whisky is a broad term that refers to whisky produced outside the traditional whisky-making powerhouses of Scotland, Ireland, the United States, and Canada. As whisky has grown into a global phenomenon, distilleries in countries like Japan, India, Taiwan, France, Australia, South Africa, and even Sweden have emerged with distinctive styles, ingredients, and techniques that reflect their local climates and cultures.

These whiskies often challenge conventions and push boundaries—whether it's aging in tropical heat (as seen in Indian brands like Amrut), using native oak (like Japan’s Mizunara), or experimenting with wine cask finishes in French and Australian distilleries. Some world whiskies are made in the style of Scotch or bourbon, while others forge entirely new paths, blending local grains, water sources, and aging conditions to create something unique.

There are few beverages in the world with as rich a heritage and diverse a background as whisky. Our range includes Scotch whisky (both blended and single malt varieties, of course), Irish whiskey, American whiskey, Japanese whisky and a host of other whiskies from around the globe. Knowing how varied each country of origin is, we’ve made it our mission to stock a full range of exquisite flavours from around the world, with tasting notes as individual as the locations they’re from.
