 The Macallan and Highland Park are
celebrating an impressive haul of four
gold best in class awards at this year's
International Wine and Spirit
Competition.
Highland Park picked up three gold best
in class awards for its 18 and 25 year
old expressions and Earl Magnus 15 year
old whilst The Macallan Sherry Oak 12
year old won top honours at the world
renowned competition.
Both brands achieved further recognition
across their product ranges with three
gold awards for travel retail
exclusives: Highland Park 1994 and 1990
Vintages plus The Macallan Fine Oak
15yo.
Ken Grier, director of malts at
Edrington, pictured, said: "Once again,
we have made a real mark at the IWSC
with an impressive 15 gold and silver
medals. This demonstrates that our
single malt whiskies continue to be
world class and showcases the commitment
of our people to strive for the very
best within our premium authentic
portfolio. This is a highly competitive
and rigorous competition and I’m
delighted that we've maintained strong
results and presence in 2010."
A panel of judges (considered to be some
of the most highly qualified group of
international judges of any wine and
spirit competition in the world) sampled
a large range of Scotch whisky products.
The whiskies, like all of the spirits
and wines in the competition, were blind
tasted in groups divided by variety,
region and vintage and awarded points
accordingly.
