A quintet of
medals for Ian Macleod Distillers at the
San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
 Ian Macleod Distillers brands’
Glengoyne Highland Single Malt Scotch
Whisky and Tamdhu Speyside Single Malt
Scotch Whisky have been have each been
awarded a DOUBLE GOLD Medal at the 2014
San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
The San Francisco World Spirits
Competition is widely considered as one of the
most prestigious and highly regarded
spirits competition in the USA. Ian Macleod Distillers acquired the Glengoyne distillery in
2003 and then the Tamdhu distillery in
2011 have been working hard to give
whisky connoisseurs a quality range of
single malt whiskies from both
distilleries and this quintet of medals
for Ian Macleod Distillers brands is
recognition of how well they have done
in the short time since taking control
of the two distilleries to produce a
quality whisky range.
Glengoyne
scooped the DOUBLE GOLD Medal for its 18
and 21 year old malts, the GOLD medal
for its 12 year old malt and SILVER
medal for its 15 year old malt whilst
Tamdhu lifted the DOUBLE GOLD Medal in
the Single Malt Scotch category and
DOUBLE GOLD Medal for Packaging.
Held at the distinguished Hotel Nikko in
San Francisco, the 2014 San Francisco
World Spirits Competition was the
largest in its 14-year history with
Glengoyne and Tamdhu fighting off stiff
competition from 1,474 entries. Spirit
entries were evaluated by 39 of the
finest palates from the industry
including spirits experts from noted
restaurants and hotels, well-known
spirits journalists from major national
media, spirits buyers for large
purveyors, and spirits consultants.
Commenting on the awards, Neil Boyd,
Commercial Director of Malts for Ian
Macleod Distillers, said: "We are
delighted with the success of both
Glengoyne and Tamdhu at this year’s San
Francisco Spirits World Competition. It
is extremely gratifying to receive
independent recognition for something
that we already knew – that Tamdhu and
Glengoyne are both excellent whiskies."
Ian Macleod Distillers is one of
Scotland’s leading, independent family
owned distillers. The company acquired
the Glengoyne brand in 2003 and Tamdhu
in 2011.
