A good reason to celebrate!

We have scooped the top prize in the annual Malt Maniacs Awards 2009.

This international competition, Pinnacle of The Worlds Spirits Awards, gave Duncan Taylor’s Glen Grant 36yo the overall top whisky – a massive achievement for a small Aberdeenshire-based whisky merchant.

Malt Maniacs are an International group of whisky lovers that represent thousands of whisky clubs throughout the world. The judging panel from over 10 major whisky drinking markets of the world represent the elite of spirit connoisseurs. Thousands of whiskies were blind tasted by eleven experts over the course of the awards, but it was Duncan Taylor that came out tops on the night. *(Please see the note below)

In addition to the overall award, we were also awarded a gold medal again for the Glen Grant 36yo – attracting an unheard of 91 points from the judges and a further three silver medals and two bronze medals were awarded to Duncan Taylor Whiskies. We are all honoured at Duncan Taylor to have won this award from ‘people who know their whiskies’.

Purveyors of the worlds most exclusive range of Scotch Whiskies

* The Malt Maniacs are indeed an international group of whisky lovers, but they are very much independent and do not represent whisky clubs or anyone other than themselves.  This year’s entries numbered just over 200, similar to the numbers received in past years.  Given that competitors are restricted to a limited number of entries, the quality of the competition is very high so Duncan Taylor have every right to be proud of their very strong showing.
