The prices have gone up massively in the last couple of years no matter where you live.I live in Germany and we have a relatively low alcohol tax and buying drams is much cheaper than in the UK. The massive corporations behind so many distilleries these days know that the demand is going up and just turn the screw up on their prices ( ie Diagio) The secondary market is also pushing up prices when they see demand going up,just see what's going on with Springbank these days. I accept the reasons you have mentioned but Single Malt enthusiasts are being screwed for corporate gain at the moment !! 😡
The cost is largely to do with the criminal amount of tax the crown and government put on whisky.
Yeah, alcohol tax in general is very high.
Spot on!
