Would you be surprised by the answer?😲🥃

At Edinburgh's #FringeFestival, we asked quizzers at the 'Big Fat Whisky Quiz' one question: "what percentage of the price of a bottle of #ScotchWhisky is tax?"

They were shocked to find out the answer is 72%.

That's the reality of the #SpiritsSuperTax

72% of a bottle of #ScotchWhisky is tax 📈

That high duty bill puts extra pressure on distillers and their supply chains, when what's needed is support for businesses to invest in their products, their people and their long-term growth.

28 October is the opportunity to cut the #SpiritsSuperTax

Thoughts - I’m trying these old drams, thinking like a more nerdy whisky drinker. I didn’t expect much, but I’ve been surprised. This is another good starter for the evening, a perfectly good whisky imho. Won’t blow your socks off, but enjoyable. #olddrams #passportwhisky #70°proof #scotchwhisky

🏁 - Short to medium in length, staying fruity mainly at this point, spiced do linger though. Just as I thought the flavour was leaving, I did get a Smokey note, really interesting. #olddrams #passportwhisky #70°proof #scotchwhisky

👅 - It’s quite spicy from the start. Stem ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, star anise, grapefruit pith, and black liquorice. Eventually it develops a sweetness, with icing sugar, like the nose. The sweetness and spiciness bounce off each other #olddrams #passportwhisky #scotchwhisky #70°proof

👃 - I’m going to say there’s a hint of mint in here, with rose water, light perfume, vanilla pastries, and icing sugar. More time brings light tropical fruits, it’s becoming sweeter. #olddrams #passportwhisky #70°proof #scotchwhisky

Interesting 🤔. The bottle is green, I expected a light coloured whisky, this is more of an amber colour. Aged single malt in the mix? Perhaps some sherry cask? #olddrams #passportwhisky #70°proof #scotchwhisky

Time to pour another old mini. A 70% proof passport blended scotch whisky. I’ve seen porters at auction, and wondered how it tastes, time to find out.
