French bestsellers: a spotlight on the top-five whiskies shipped to France

Top-five France: Sherry rules in the French flavour stakes as teh Single Malt Shop takes stock of its most-shipped whisky to France this year

Judging by our sales, there’s no question about how much French whisky fans like sherry maturation. Four of our five top-selling whiskies in France this year have been sherry finished. Two of these are from Speyside: Macallan and Dalmore, while a third is on its outskirts: the Speyside adjacent Highlander, Glendronach. The remaining two are Japanese: Yamazaki and Hakushu.

To get a taste of what the French are selecting, here are our top-five sales to France so far this year:

Exceptional New Price: Buy our single cask 18-year-old Highland Park and get a core 18-year-old bottling for free

Our single cask Highland Park 18 is an exemplary bottle, and one of only 515 created in an exclusive collaboration between Highland Park Distillery and the Single Malt Shop. Distilled in 2002, it was matured in a refill butt and bottled in 2021 at 57.4% ABV.

This release lifts the already globally recognised Highland Park 18 to another level, with its maturation in a hand-selected cask that was chosen to amplify and perfect the signature flavour of the Highland Park range.

Now, in an incredible celebration of Highland Park’s work, and for a limited time, everyone who buys the single cask release at its new price will also receive a core bottling of the distillery’s 18-year-old.
