Top 10 Best Whisky Under £50

These whiskies are from the world’s most popular distilleries, including those in Scotland and America. As such, we have tried to create an inclusive list of popular and rare whiskies with an abundance of flavours.

1. Bastille 1789 French Blended Whisky

You’ve heard of Jean-Marc Vodka, but have you tried its whisky? France has many hidden gems regarding alcohol, but this is their best whisky under £50 by a good deal. Aged in a variety of casks, this Bastille 1789 whisky tastes of limousin oak, orange and pepper.

2. Arran Single Malt Scotch 10 Year Old Whisky

Arran is one of the most influential distilleries known to Scotland, situated in the central part of the Isle of Arran. In fact, this whisky was so popular after its launch in 2006 that it was reintroduced in 2019 with a more enticing recipe, matured in bourbon and sherry casks.

3. Spey Royal Fine Old Scotch Whisky 1970s

Another daring Scotch whisky, there is nothing more valuable than a matured bottle. But what makes this spirit appealing is its Italian collaboration and mixed casks, offering a strong, yet smooth flavour.

4. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select

Everyone has heard of Jack Daniel’s and while it’s an obvious classic, we believe it deserves a special place on this list. Each barrel is selected by a master distiller, offering contrasting flavours of dark caramel, spice and fruit.

5. Teeling Small Batch Rum Cask Finish 2019

This Teeling whisky proves that younger spirits are not lower quality than mature ones. When you invest in this single malt whisky, you can infuse yourself in freshly-cut grass, orange, vanilla, apples and cinnamon.

6. Springbank Campbeltown Loch Blended Scotch Whisky

The Springbank distillery is one of the last remaining producers of Campbeltown Single Malts, situated on the southern Kintyre peninsula. In fact, it is one of only two distilleries in Scotland to perform the entire whisky-making process within their property, creating a beautifully-crafted peated whisky.

7. Wild Turkey 81 Proof

This bourbon whiskey is truly one-of-a-kind. Not only was it crafted by the son of a legendary distiller, but this batch was matured longer than most bourbon, up to eight years. As such, you will find a stronger taste than most American whiskey—a potential best whiskey under £50 indeed.

8. 1792 Barton Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey

1792 Bourbon whiskey is one of the most popular spirits in America, so we highly recommend this as the best whiskey under £50. While it’s best served mixed as an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour, you can also drink it undiluted. Either way, you are sure to indulge a wave of flavours from spice to rye, fig to oak, and apple to banana.

9. Aber Falls Single Malt Welsh Whisky

If you’re looking for a piece of history, you are in the right place. Aber Falls is the first whisky distillery to be established in North Wales in over a century. As such, this whisky was meticulously crafted for both collectors and those who love rich and full-bodied flavours.

10. Islay 8 Year Old 2008 Blended Whisky

Pronounced ‘Isla (ai-luh),’ this Scottish region hosts an abundance of popular whiskies from many distilleries. This bottle in particular takes inspiration from the region’s traditional flavours: smoke and peat.
