Distell's
Scotch whisky portfolio scoops 10 awards
in the first round of the World Whiskies
Awards 2019.
International spirits, wine and cider
producer, Distell's Scotch whisky
line-up has impressed the judges in the first
round, at the 2019 World Whiskies
Awards with its range of single malts
and blended Scotch whiskies scooping 10
accolades in total between them
including three
category winners, three gold medals, two
silver and two bronze.
Islay’s most remote distillery,
Bunnahabhain won two overall category
awards for Best Scotch Islay Single Malt
(13-20 years) with its Bunnahabhain 18
Year Old, as well as the 21 year and
over category with its 25 Year Old
expression – a second year winning this
award for each. The distillery also
scooped a gold medal for its peated
expression, Bunnahabhain Toiteach a Dha.
Further achievements across the single
malts included a category award win for
Ledaig 10 Year Old in the Scotch Islands
(Non Islay) 12 years and under, while
Deanston was recognised with a gold
medal for its 12 Year Old expression in
the Scotch Highland 12 years and under
category.
Amongst Distell’s Scotch brands,
Scottish Leader was acknowledged in
three categories with a gold medal for
its 12 Year Old in the blended (12 years
and under) section. And Black Bottle
received a silver medal for its no-age
statement blended Scotch whisky.
Derek Scott, Brand Director for Malt
Whisky at Distell commented on the
company's success across its Scotch
whisky portfolio; "The results speak for
themselves and reinforce the passion and
commitment from across the distilleries
and blending teams to deliver world
class products. Not only does this
showcase the talent of the team, it
demonstrates the innovation and
continued commitment to develop
international award winning products for
consumers to enjoy."
The World Whiskies Awards are always
well received by whisky drinkers, this
year there was over 1000 brands entered
and as always
the whiskies were 'blind-tasted' by a
panel of 40
experts from across the globe and it is
this blind tasting which raises the
WWA's above the numerous other awards
that are around nowadays.
The 2nd round of the World Whiskies
Awards kicked off in London this week,
results pending.
If you fancy trying any of Distell's
award winning line-up of whiskies you will find the current
range available from
specialist online whisky retailers such
as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Whisky Shop and
Master of Malt
