Drinks by the Dram Premium Whisky 2026 by the numbers
How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the record at build time and set against the median of the same season and the same kind of contents. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Where the record cannot support a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing.The definitions, one by one →Each figure against the median of this season's alcohol shelf — 52 calendars. Green is the better side of the median, red the worse; the median is printed so you can disagree.

Our Drinks by the Dram Premium Whisky 2026 review
Our verdict
Twenty-five top-shelf drams at 46.9% overall, and two retailers price it the same. The list earns the premium, with Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Octomore 16.1, Lagavulin 16, Redbreast 18, Yamazaki 12 and four whiskies over 20 years old, though Scotch fills 18 of the 25 doors and it costs twice the standard Whisky box.
