Scotch Fun Facts for International Scotch Day, February 8th, courtesy of the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA)

• Scotch Whisky is Scotland’s number one export. By law, Scotch Whisky can only be made in Scotland.

• Scotch Whisky must be matured in oak casks for a minimum of three years.

• DIAGEO possesses the largest Scotch Whisky portfolio in the world by both volume of liquid and number of brands, with just under 12 million+ barrels currently maturing in Scotland. (For a bit of context, the human population of Scotland is around 5.5 million).

• More Scotch whisky is enjoyed globally than American, Japanese, and Irish whiskies combined.

• There are 44 bottles of Scotch whisky exported every second to markets all over the world.

Check out these 7 popular whisky brands, perfect to celebrate International Scotch Day.

Johnnie Walker High Rye

If you’re looking for richness and complexity Johnnie Walker High Rye Blended Scotch Whisky features a unique mash bill of 60% rye blended with notable single malts from distilleries such as Cardhu, the heart of Johnnie Walker Scotch Whiskies, before being aged in American oak barrels. The result is a balance of sweet vanilla notes and the spiciness of rye that becomes revealed through subtle wisps of warm smoke.

If you prefer a cocktail Copper Dog Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from the heart of Speyside is a unique blend of no fewer than eight Single Malt Whiskies, slowly married together in old oak casks.

This liquid can stand alone or complement other ingredients when mixed into a cocktail, like the below Pear Punch. In a nod to its origins, Copper Dog is proud to support local dog charities throughout the U.S. making a big impact in their communities, empowering rascals on both two legs and four. The brand has partnered with 25 animal welfare nonprofits and has donated more than $500,000 since January 2021 to support their rescue initiatives. These donations provide critical funds to smaller, local organizations that are committed to improving the lives of dogs in need.
