5 of the best affordable single malt whiskies
Words: Charlie Thomas
Whisky is the ultimate drink for the modern gentleman. Sophisticated and rugged in equal measure, it is a tipple best enjoyed with fine company and even finer cigars. Single malt is of course some of the best, but prices can soar through the roof. Here are 5 of the best affordable single malt whiskies.
GLEN MORAY CLASSIC
Glen Moray Classic is an entry-level single malt, although it’s still been aged for an average of seven years. It’s easy to drink and boasts notes of honey for the drinker with a sweet tooth.
