Whisky is one of those drinks that has seen a massive increase in popularity over the last 10 years. In fact, it is the second fastest growing drink in Japan, just behind French wine. That said, whiskies are often not cheap as other drinks as they cost a lot to store for 10+ years and the processes of refinements are often quite specialised. There are some whisky makers who sell their older bottles for thousands of dollars.Here are five whiskies that give you the best value for money. So put your wine glasses away, and dig out that tumbler.

1.) The Dalmore 12 ($20-$30). Along with some subtle honey undertones, this whisky boasts some great complex flavours that allow it to often be considered in the same league as some much more expensive drinks.Lucky enough for whisky lovers, this bottle isn’t very well known, so the price tag hasn’t shot up yet.

2.) Glen Garioch 10 ($20). This whisky is the youngest of the list and what it lacks in strength it makes up for in smooth drinking. No one would pick this out as the cheapy in a blind taste test

3.) Old Pulteney 12 ($20-$30). Found in bottles that look like crystal vases, this malt is truly value for money. This whisky has both sweet and salty notes to it and is often enjoyed as a beach drink, as well as a big favorite of the sailors.

4.) Aberfeldy 12 ($35-$40) One of the darker whiskies out of the five, this everyday drink has been produced for hundreds of years and is still as popular as ever. It may be a little more expensive than some of the others, but its well worth it. Youll need decent whisky glasses to do this one justice.

5.) Coal Lla 12 ($40-$45) This is most expensive whisky out of this selection, but again its worth every penny. This one really can hold its own with the world class whiskies, and its brilliantly smoky body and powerful notes make it a favorite with the seasoned whisky drinker. Don’t go without trying this beautiful nectar.
