The 9 Best Cheap Scotches to Drink in 2021
Smoky peats, single malts, and blended scotches on a budget.
It isn't necessary to dig deep in your pockets for a loveable whisky, says Flavien Desoblin, owner of New York’s Brandy Library and Cooper & Oak. “Sipping was once elevated to a much higher price tag, but distilleries have realized that they need to put forward affordable entry-level scotches.” Nowadays, there are so many good ones available that bottles with lower age statements—scotches aged 12, 10 or even less—are “good even though they’re young,” he says. Scotches like these, which generally clock in around $50, are great for both mixing and sipping neat, on the rocks, with a bit of water or soda, or any way you want. At these prices, such drams are “the perfect new standard for every day,” says Desoblin.
What should you look for in a great, everyday scotch? Layered nuance, says Crystal Chasse, beverage director of New York’s Talk Story Rooftop. “The beginning, mid-palate, and finish will all have their own expressions, taking you on some sort of journey.” Here are our expert picks of the best cheap scotches to drink right now.
