Exchange rate has gone through the roof more like. £1 is worth 2000€. Think how cheap a holiday in Spain would be. If the same dollar rate applied, even World Cup final tickets would only be £1.50!

 @Remspoor is right to say rock bottom as he lives in Spain.

We'd struggle to export much whisky at 40,000 Euros for a cheap bottle!

My general impression is export Single Malts to Spain is not going so well. Choice these days is very limited.

That's interesting - do you think that's something that has changed recently?

 

I just picked a UK-produced product (the first one that came to mind) of which the majority is exported (whether it's to Spain or anywhere else in the world)

Well things have changed since 2020 things have been harder to find.  The only British "food" items I want is a single malt and tea. Both have disappeared off of supermarket shelves. I do not live in an expat zone- Maybe it is better in these areas.

You’ll be hard pushed to find British tea. I don’t think we grow much here.

Well all EU-UK / UK-EU trade got more difficult and more costly so I’d not be surprised to see a Spanish retailer give up something that may be marginal for them.

Is there a good local off-license or a Spanish equivalent to the online shops such as Whisky Exchange, Loch Fyne and Maltmaster?

Do a search and surprise yourself. Besides I think you know what I am writing about.

Everything can be found on Amazon. 

After I had written that most UK foods have disappeared I was in my local supermarket and saw Walkers cookies, Belgium chocolate and stem ginger. The address on the box was Walkers Germany. The same supermarket only has two single malts in stock. 
Everything is more expensive even  Spanish products.

Yea there was an article on Countryfile I think about a UK tea grower but  I know you meant PG Tips etc.

Exports of Whisky  is down for the world wide markets, not just in Spain (if you believe the BBC).

What's your preferred method of using one of those @grizz, do you sort of straddle it or what?
