What is best depends on you

What the best whisky under fifty euros is depends on what you like. Someone who loves smoke and someone who cannot stand it will end up with a different bottle, and neither of them is wrong. That is why below you will find no top ten, but the shelf itself: by region, by age and by strength, so that you can choose based on what you already know.

Choosing based on what you already know

What is available under 50 euro

The numbers come from our own stock and are recounted with every round. For each corner, three bottles are shown as an example, spread across the prices; the current price is on the bottle page.

Highlands 6 bottles

The largest region of Scotland, and therefore the region with the most differences within it.

Islay 6 bottles

The island where the malt is dried over a peat fire. That is the smoke for which whisky is loved or avoided.

Everything from Islay

Twaalf jaar of ouder 11 flessen

An age on the label means that the youngest drop in the bottle is that old. It says nothing about the flavour, but it does say something about the time spent on wood.

Forty-six percent or higher 13 bottles

Bottled at a higher strength generally means unfiltered and more flavor per sip. You can add water yourself; the other way around is not possible.

Advice

How to choose without gambling

Two questions will almost always lead you to the right bottle. The first: smoke or no smoke. Smoky Islay whisky is, for those who love it, the finest there is for the money, and for those who don’t, money wasted. The second: neat or with a splash of water. If you drink it neat, a higher strength helps, as it gives more flavour per sip; if you add water, any bottle will do. If you know the answer to neither, choose something from Speyside or the Highlands: soft, round, and rarely wrong.

Frequently asked questions

Which whisky can you buy for less than 50 euro?

Voor dit bedrag heeft u de keuze uit 62 flessen van 36 merken, waarvan 11 met een leeftijd van twaalf jaar of ouder. De meeste komen uit Schotland, maar Ierland, de Verenigde Staten, Japan en Nederland staan er ook. Welke bij u past hangt af van rook en sterkte; daar gaat het adviesstuk hierboven op in.

Is a more expensive whisky always better?

No. Above a certain amount you mainly pay for rarity, for age and for the size of the run, and those three say nothing about whether you like the taste. There are bottles at thirty euros that score higher at a tasting than bottles at a hundred. What a higher price does more often bring is a higher bottling strength and no coloring.

Whisky or whiskey: does that spelling matter?

Not for the price. It is a spelling: in Scotland, Japan and Canada it is written whisky, in Ireland and the United States usually whiskey. If you search for whiskey under 50 euros, these are the same bottles; on this shelf they are mixed together.

Can I taste before I buy?

The shop has a tasting cabinet with open bottles. What is in it changes, so please call ahead if you are coming for something in particular.
