Charles Maclean examines the history, landscape, traditions and production methods behind each distillery, highlighting the people, ingredients and craftsmanship that shape the character of Scotch single malt whisky. More than 250 photographs capture the distilleries, their surroundings and the people behind the spirit, making this both an informative reference and an atmospheric celebration of Scotland’s whisky heritage.
Excise duties
What is excise duty?
Excise duty is a tax that applies to certain goods, including alcohol. It is separate from VAT and is usually calculated based on the amount of alcohol in the product — the higher the alcohol content, the higher the excise.
For whisky, this tax must be paid before the bottle can be legally sold or consumed. Each EU country sets its own excise rates and rules, which is why excise duty often needs to be paid again when a bottle is shipped across borders.
- Are you buying from outside the EU? No problem – no excise duty will be added. Customs of your country will take care of this.
We do this to stay compliant with EU tax and duty laws. If you're unsure what this means for you, feel free to contact us before bidding.
