French spirit, Scottish soul.

POP QUIZ: NAME A FRENCH SPIRIT.

There’s about an 80 percent chance that you answered “Cognac.”

Now, name the most-consumed spirit in France. The answer is not nearly as obvious—and it’ll likely surprise you.

Last year, French drinkers consumed 15.3 million 9-liter cases of whisky—that’s about 184 million bottles— making it the highest-volume spirit in the country, according to IWSR, an organization focused on data and analysis for the alcoholic beverage market.

Whisky (France adopted Scotland’s ‘e’-less spelling) accounts for around 40 percent of all spirits imbibed there. The majority of that is Scotch whisky, both blended and single malt; France has quite an affinity for Scotland’s most iconic beverage. And now French distillers are demonstrating that they’re every bit as adept as the Scots at making the good stuff.
