I don't remember Slainte saying anything about home drinking habits, nothing at all and what Scottish whiskey has to do with this thread is beyond me.
I must say though I was having a bit of a chuckle. I thought there will be Grant off on his searches to find something and look the poor soul has had to take two hours to find - nothing.
Far from this being a rebuff to Slainte, it simply is showing that migrants are still minding their motherland and buying Scotch.
When will you learn to read the articles you post? :roll:
Whisky Guild - Report finds Scotch on the rocks in its homeland
However this thread is not about Scottish exports.

“However, to focus on [the UK] just one out of 200 markets ignores Scotch whisky’s global success. Exports grew by £764m – a 32% rise – between 2005-09, with Scotch whisky now worth more to the UK than Cognac and Champagne exports combined are to France.”
Scotch is the leading single product export from Scotland, accounting for 15% of total Scottish exports (excluding oil and gas), 24% of Scottish manufacturing exports and 87% of Scottish food and drink exports. Scotch grew last year in 17 out of 20 of its top markets.
