Few trends have dominated the secondary whisky market as the boom of japanese whiskies did. While the gold rush seems to be over (or is it?), we wonder in which direction the nippon trend will evolve. That said, it is about time to add japanese whiskies to our database! 

Bound by history, separated only by a single street crossing. The Brora and Clynelish distilleries just ask to be compared. This is why we have a closer look at these two Highland scotch whisky producers and their history on the secondary whisky market. 

In this article we count down the 10 highest ranking scotch distilleries according to our whiskystats distillery indices. While some placings surprise, many of the well-known scotch market leaders appear where they belong. 

Indices help us to compare different parts of the market. This is why we want to introduce the whiskystats distillery indices, a representation of the price evolution of the most traded bottles by distillery. 

We start our analysis of the secondary whisky-market by comparing the scotch-whisky regions. As each region has its own environmental character which it passes to its whiskies, we expect to see differences in the market demand.
