Whiskey May 2023

WORLD WHISKEY DAY – May 20th

Imported whiskies are growing in volume and value, and more outlets are choosing to stock them*

Be it the bold spiced backbone of rye, the soft vanilla notes of wheat or the sweet, rich warmth of corn, world whiskies play with a broader palate than Scotland’s trusty malts, meaning that making your range might just hold wider appeal with a few air miles under its belt.
