“It’s a fantastic result for the whole team - 6 medals at such a prestigious Spirits Fair and all of them gold and silver! We are only 3 years old and I feel is a fabulous achievement for a company that is so young to be amongst the drink giants that have been in business for decades. What a compliment to all of our hard work and perseverance, I really look forward to entering our whisky in the near future and seeing their comments”
