Original Note:
UK alcohol duty rate was published in Spring to take effect on 1st August 2023. This increased tax on a bottle of Whisky by 10.1% to bring it to a total of 75%. The UK government did not therefore 'slap 75% tax on each bottle'. Alcohol duty has remained the same for 6 years https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/changes-to-alcohol-duty-rates/alcohol-duty-rate-changes
