Cheers! to the great whisky flood of 1967. Every month in Scotland they're making for export almost enough bottles of whisky to float the Queen Elizabeth II. Multiply them in millions marching across the earth from Red China to a crofter's cottage in the Hebrides, from a glittering West Berlin embassy to a pub in Auchterarder and you have an idea of the extent of the great whisky flood of 1967. There are 137 best-sellers in this picture. They were gathered from all the member companies of the Scotch Whisky Association and represent some of the greatest dollar earners of all time.
