Whisky exports booming!
Scotch whisky seems to be defying the recession as exports have reached record levels with a 3% increase to £3.1 billion, according to the Scotch Whisky Association. Thats a staggering 1.1 billion 70cl bottles that have been exported. Brazil and Mexico have been highlighted as emerging markets, does this mean there will be even less of the good stuff to go around?!?!
