It’s been a minute (that’s what the youngsters say, proper?) since I reviewed an award-winning dram right here on the weblog, so as we speak I assumed I’d change that.
The dram I’m going to be reviewing as we speak just lately gained gold on the 2025 International Scotch Whisky Masters within the Tremendous-Premium class, has acquired rave opinions from critics and clients alike, and retails for lower than fifty quid! Fairly superior, proper? Did I overlook to say something? Oh sure, it simply so occurs to be a flagship launch right here at GreatDrams.
August has been a busy, but vastly fruitful month for Kirsty and I. We’ve attended festivals and occasions, visited distilleries, gained gold medals, and launched an distinctive blended Scotch which can be our flagship for some time, so hold your eyes peeled as you actually don’t need to miss this drop.
Crafted to Have a good time a Decade of Excellence
As onerous to consider as it might be, GreatDrams has now been offering distinctive whisky for slightly over one decade. In that point, we’ve seen some ups, and we’ve seen some downs. From world pandemics, rate of interest hikes, and document inflation to numerous awards, collaborations and an extremely loyal buyer base for whom we’re eternally grateful, it’s been a heck of a decade, and we’re simply getting began.
After we launched GreatDrams, our major goal was to launch distinctive whiskies that individuals like to drink. After a decade, and extra awards than I might ever think about, I really feel we’ve achieved that.
To rejoice a decade of ardour, onerous work, dedication, numerous awards, and uncompromising flavour, Kirsty and I made a decision to launch one thing very particular. One thing to commemorate all that our humble unbiased whisky firm has achieved in ten years. One thing…wonderful.
We dug into our in depth cask stock and started trying to find the proper dram. This was not straightforward as we had been actually spoiled for selection. However, after a lot sampling, and loads of trial and error, we persevered. Hoorah!
So, what did we choose for you fantastic people? Nicely, we opted for our Founders’ Alternative Blended Scotch Whisky. This can be a ridiculously drinkable whisky that you just can’t put down. When crafting this beautiful drop, we needed to create a whisky that appealed to all. One which may very well be loved neat on a chilly winter’s night, but on the identical time can be equally as scrumptious in a summer season cocktail at a backyard celebration. I believe it’s secure to say we completely nailed the transient on this one.
Oh, and it may be yours for simply £45! You don’t get many gold-medal profitable drams for that value.
