awards for its premium drinks brands at
this year’s Spirits Masters, a highly

solely dedicated to the spirits industry
and is the leading authority on the
global market.
Scoring high marks, William Grant & Sons
took home a total of 28 medals,

The impressive number of medals won has

The Scotch Whisky Masters is fast
becoming one of the most respected and
high profile blind tasting competitions
in the industry, attracting entries from
leading brands all over the world. This
year, Patience Gould, editor of The
Spirits Business, along with a panel of
leading spirits and on-trade
specialists, judged 149 entries.
Commenting on the success, William Grant

delighted and honoured to have won the
prestigious top title of Grand Spirits
Master and Scotch Whisky Grand Master.
The skills and dedication that go into
the making of our whiskies is reflected
in the medals won. And to be praised by
our colleagues and peers makes the
awards so special to us.”

Masters, the Company has also won the
award of Distiller of the Year from ISC
