Top 25 blended Scotch whisky brands by volume & who owns them
While single malt whisky sales were the success story of the 2010s, blended Scotch whisky has remained the backbone of the industry, and in the 5 years since 2020 it has reasserted its dominance. Exports of Scotch whisky have grown by almost 50% in 5 years, with over £3bn worth of blended Scotch whisky being shipped to all parts of the world in 2025.
Even more interesting is that over that same period, the average value per bottle has increased by 36%. Where once single malt whisky was considered the ultimate sign of prestige, it is now blended Scotch whiskies that are leading growth in the premium and super premium categories.
And in Scotch terms, premium and super premium generally means ‘older’ and ‘better’. This is sending clear signals to the distillers that there is a strong financial incentive to mature stocks for longer. That’s where we can help.
