Tasted and reviewed by Mike & Paul
Scotland and Australia get their own dedicated pages, but great whisky isn't limited to either country. Japan has spent decades refining a Scotch-inspired style that's now world-renowned in its own right, Ireland's triple-distilled whiskeys are famous for their smoothness, and a growing list of countries, from New Zealand to well beyond, are starting to build reputations of their own.
Below is every whisky we've tasted and reviewed from outside Scotland and Australia, with our full flavour profiles and tasting notes. As we taste more from any one country, it may well earn a dedicated page of its own.
