Did you know, the total value of whisky aging in Scotland is greater than the UK's entire gold reserves!
310 tonnes of gold,£22–£25 billion.
Whisky in Bond,
22 million casks valued between £30 billion to £100 billion+!
No wonder England won't let us escape with 75% of that going to HMRC London!

We're not truthfully told how much Scotch Whisky there is in Scotland.
The UK Duty regime is absolutely ludicrous, 75%!
Could you imagine, launching a Product and being told, three-quarters of it will be Tax? Bonkers!
It's hampering growth, only a fool now doesn't want Scottish Independence.

Whisky from newly reopened Scottish distillery crowned 'best in the world'
