@scotchwhiskyswa.bsky.socialWould 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
@scotchwhiskyswa.bsky.social72% 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
