Looking to buy Whisky?
From single malt Scotch to a creamy Irish, the world of whiskies is bursting with flavours for any prospective drinker. One of the world's classiest spirits, anyone looks sophisticated with a glass of whisky in their hand - and sophisticated is the word for our sellers' broad range of whiskies. With a fantastic collection of popular brands and hidden hits from underground distilleries, you'll love to buy whisky at OnBuy!Scotch & other malt whiskies
For many, the quintessential whisky is malt. This sharp, peaty spirit is so closely associated with the nation of Scotland that it's commonly known as 'Scotch'. Scotch is a protected term, meaning that for a whisky to bear the name it has to come from Caledonia.
It's never been easier to buy whisky online than from OnBuy. Our sellers can offer you bottles of malt from plenty of top brands. You'll notice subtly different flavours depending on the location of your whisky's distillery. For instance, a Speyside like Macallan whisky will have notes of dried fruits, honey and sherry. On the other hand a Islay distillery like Laphroaig will produce a rich, smoky dram with a heavy emphasis on peat.
Although malt whisky hails from Scotland originally, it's spread all over the world, and the OnBuy range is truly international. If you'd like the taste of the great white north, we've got plenty of Canadian whiskies. This blended whisky takes the traditional barley recipe and adds a little rye flavouring for a sweet and light taste. Or you can head across the globe to buy whisky from Japan. It might not be the first country you'd think would produce a great dram, but cult Japanese brands like Suntory and Nikka have beaten even famous Scottish labels in recent taste tests.
American & Irish whiskeys
While the sharp, complex flavour of a single malt is undeniably delectable, any drinker would do themselves a disservice if they didn't try out other varieties of firewater. The other 'big two' of the whiskey world are Irish and American whiskeys.
You may have noticed a change in spelling from 'whisky' to 'whiskey' - that's no mistake, promise. It's because the spelling of this spirit changes depending on its origins. While malt distillers use 'whisky', American and Irish distillers prefer 'whiskey' (although this rule isn't always followed: Maker's Mark uses 'whisky' but they make bourbon, for instance).
If you're a beginner looking to buy whiskey online for the first time, Irish whiskey is a brilliant choice. This smooth and light spirit is famed for its drinkability, with pleasant notes of vanilla and caramel. It's delicious when served straight on the rocks or as part of a cocktail. Brew up some high quality coffee, mix in some high quality Irish whiskey like Jameson, Redbreast or Bushmills and enjoy a classic Irish coffee.
Or perhaps you'd like to cross the pond and try some of our sellers' American whiskeys. By far the most iconic American whiskey is bourbon whiskey, a type of corn mash whiskey that hails from the American South. Named after a famous French aristocratic dynasty, bourbon is a liquor fit for a king, with many different flavour profiles to choose from!
Just as with Scotch, there are plenty of flavour profiles to explore in the bourbon world. Floral bourbons like Woodford Reserve or bottles from the Four Roses distillery are brilliant for beginners, while more experienced drinkers will appreciate the oak and cedar wood notes of wood-forward bourbons like Wild Turkey or the Black range from Jim Beam. If you want to buy whiskey that's complex yet sweet, bourbon is certainly worth a try!
