Duncan Taylor Co Wins Big!
 Duncan Taylor Co took home the Independent bottler of the year 2009 Award from the Icons of Whisky. In addition, Mark Watt, the Global Ambassador for Duncan Taylor Co, has won the Young Whisky Ambassador of the year 2009 Award. This is a great achievement for the bright, young whisky expert. Also nominated for the award was Peter Currie from Springbank.
The Gold Medal from the International Wine and Spirits Competition was given to the Duncan Taylor Auld Blended 38 Year Old. This is a stunning whisky that was in the March Newsletter. |
A New Look For Springbank
Springbank Distillers has updated their packaging on the flagship 10 year old, 10 year old 100 proof, and 15 year old. This beautiful new packaging along with a redesigned gift box should be hitting store shelves this summer.

Madeira 11 Year Officially In
 The Springbank Madeira Wood arrived late last month. We tasted the whisky at first opportunity and it's a fantastic dram! This whisky spent all 11 years maturing in the Madeira Casks which contributes significantly to the sweetness on the nose. After the bursts of sweetness on the initial palate, there are notes of oak and spice.
A reminder this is a small batch and very limited (150 cases in total), so act quickly.
We will send the ratings from Malt Advocate and Spirit Journal as soon as they are available.

SPOTLIGHT
BrewDog Paradox Isle of Arran
The Renegade Brewer Has Achieved Cult Status With Their Stout Aged in Whisky Barrels
Uniting two of Scotland's proudest traditions, Paradox is BrewDog's killer imperials stout matured in the finest and most prestigious single malt scotch whisky casks. The whisky flavors are beautifully infused deep into our smooth, strong stout providing a new unrivalled drinking experience for both beer and whisky lovers.
The Isle of Arran Edition has rich vanilla sweetness, hints of cinnamon, balancing aromatic fruit and ginger flavors of the Arran Malt which are all completely infused deep into the texture of the robust Imperial Stout, with profound depths emerging with each pass and sip.
Be on the lookout for other editions such as Springbank, Glen Grant, and Port Dundas!
