Single Malt Scotch Under $100: What the Label Has to Mean

Updated March 2026.

“Under $100” is a sticker, not a Scotch class. Single malt still means one distillery, malted barley, and the Scotch Whisky Regulations: Scotland, at least three years in oak, bottled at ≥40% ABV. Glenfiddich 12 prints 40% / 750 ml on the official US shop. A 1.5-ounce pour at 40% is one NIAAA drink. Street tags move. No 2026 ranking or MSRP. Other 12-year SKUs — read those necks.
