Plenty of choice as single malts gain favor

As Chinese consumers are acquiring a taste for single malt Scotch whisky, more brands are entering the growing market.

According to the Scotch Whisky Association, single malt exports to China were worth 12.9 million pounds ($17.4 million) last year, up 66 percent on the year before.

"In China, both men and woman, young and old, drink whisky," says Georgie Bell, the malts ambassador for the family-owned global spirits company Bacardi.
