Whisky groups (A – J)
When you love whisky, you might find a favorite that you keep returning to. For many, it is well-known something you return to, and since there are many different whiskys to choose from. So finding a new whisky to try, can be difficult, and perhaps even impossible.
Fortunately, a grouping system has been created. It’s for when you want to try a new whisky, and you want it to taste like some of that you already know.
The distillery groups are divided by the distilleries own standard bottlings. That is to say, no account is taken, for example; Fadandel’s own bottlings or other independent bottlers. It will simply make the groups too large and incomprehensible. However, the groups are a good idea of what distillery you could try something from, the next time you go out and invest in a bottle of whisky.
