Producer Of The Year:
The Heart Cut
Winning the Best Independent Bottler award at the World Whiskies Awards in both of their first two years of operation is no small feat. But that’s exactly what husband-wife team Fabrizio Leoni and Georgie Bell have achieved with The Heart Cut.
A new-school bottler curating outstanding single cask whiskies from exciting distilleries around the globe, they take the hard work out of exploring the wide world of whisky – and discovering your next favourite dram. It’s exactly why we’ve named them our first-ever Producer of the Year.
