Our Favourite Whiskies Under £30

Aberfeldy 12

This sneaks into our Whiskies Under £30 purely because of how often it drops in price, sometimes as low as £25! This is an incredibly smooth dram and one i’ve purchased multiple times.

For Fans of: Sweet, Smooth and Fruity Whisky.
Price Range: £25-35
Purchase: Master of Malt | Amazon

Highland Park 12

This is a great introduction into the Highland Park whiskies. Those who have tried the older expressions, probably won’t be blown away with the 12 but it’s still superb value for a good whisky.

For Fans of: Light Spice, Fruit and Smoke.
Price Range: £25-30
Purchase: Master of Malt | Amazon

Black Bull Kyloe

One of the lowest priced bottles on our list, but it shouldn’t be overlooked because of that. A smooth, fruity and chocolatey dram and we think you’d be hard pressed to find a better blend in this price range. Read the full review here.

Price Range: £20-25
