The Independent Bottlers’ Challenge 2009:
The Society Scoops Five Fantastic Awards and a Bottler of the Year Title

Just this week the results were out for Whisky Magazine’s Independent Bottlers’ Challenge 2009.  It seems not only do you love our single cask, single malt whisky, the judges love it too!

“The benchmark for Independent bottlers”, the Society scored highly in this year’s competition with five awards and a Bottler of the Year title for the Island region (non-Islay).

Of course only Society members can get their hands on these starlights.  Some casks are sadly gone but for the others the last few bottles are available to buy NOW.  But hurry, once they’re gone, they’re gone forever!
