The best whiskies

The best whiskies under €30

Up to €30 the choice widens a lot: 12-year-old blends, very well-known bourbons and aged single malts, such as some 10-year-olds from Speyside. Here you can already choose by style, from the lightest and most floral to the first touch of peat. Compare their flavour profiles and pick the one that suits you.

How we make this list

We rank the whiskies by the community’s votes (“Love it”, “Like it” or “Don’t like it”), adjusted for how many each one has: that way, two enthusiastic votes don’t jump ahead of two hundred. There are still few votes, so for now the easiest to find in Spain go first. The order never depends on what we earn.

The price is a guide (the usual one in Spain) until we can compare it across shops: check it before you buy.

  1. Highlands, Scotland

    Tomatin Legacy

    A no-age-statement Tomatin malt that combines bourbon and virgin oak casks. The new oak gives it a vanilla sweetness and a spicy hint, while the base brings fresh fruit and citrus.

  6. Scotland

    Ballantine's 10 Year Old

    The step between Ballantine's Finest and the twelve-year-old. With ten years of ageing, it keeps the house’s smooth, honeyed character but gains some body, more vanilla and riper fruit.

  8. Tennessee, United States

    Jack Daniel's Old No. 7

    The most famous American whiskey and the benchmark of the Tennessee style. Before ageing it is filtered through maple charcoal, a process that softens the spirit, and it matures in new charred oak casks.

    • Vanilla
    • Sweet
    • Oak
