5. Ardbeg

Insider Monkey Score: 18

In the last seven years, Ardbeg has been the most awarded smoky single malt Scotch whisky. Called ‘as close to perfection as makes no difference’ by whisky connoisseurs, this Scotch has been made on the small, remote Scottish Isle of Islay for over 200 years. The distillery fell into disrepair and closed its doors in 1996, but reopened after it was acquired by The Glenmorangie Company for $8.3 million in 1997. 

At around $50 a bottle, the Ardbeg Wee Beastie is one of the Best Scotch Whiskies for the Money.
