There was a time when I went into bars that specialized in whisky and almost 75 percent was single malt scotch.

This was in Asia.

American whiskey, whether bourbon, rye, or Tennessee whiskey (Jack Daniels), was not a favorite of the Chinese.

Scotch was dominant.

Single malt is the most sought-after, although Jonny Walker blends were popular.
