Sneak Preview: Bruichladdich – Spirit of Toronto News

Some things are worth the wait.

This year, Spirit of Toronto is pleased to be finally welcoming Bruichladdich — Islay’s great iconoclast, and the unapologetically experimental distillery that has redefined what a single malt Scotch whisky can be.

Known for transparency and integrity, Bruichladdich has become a cult favourite among serious whisky drinkers, with every bottle of natural colour, unchillfiltered, and traceable to its origins — from field to warehouse.

But it’s the broader philosophy that sets Bruichladdich apart: a relentless pursuit of provenance, starting with Islay-grown barley, slow distillation, and full maturation on the island itself. Add to this a refusal to compromise on flavour or clarity, and you have one of the most progressive, principled and — dare we say? — ‘terroir driven’ producers in Scotch whisky today.

We’ve long admired the distillery for its boldness, its clarity of purpose, and its range — from unpeated whisky to the world’s most heavily peated malts. Guests should be as excited as we are to finally see Bruichladdich featured at Spirit of Toronto.

Just One Night.

For its long-awaited Toronto debut, Bruichladdich is bringing a full showcase of its core range, beginning with the Classic Laddie and the Port Charlotte 10 Year Old — both bottled at a robust 50% abv and offering a vivid contrast between Bruichladdich’s elegant unpeated style and its bold, smoky facade.

Rounding out the lineup are two Signature Selections making their first public appearance in Toronto: the newly released Bruichladdich 18 Year Old — a luxurious, full-bodied dram, brimming with tropical fruit, butterscotch and a saline edge — and the powerhouse Octomore 15.1, clocking in at a hefty 108.2ppm and distilled from 100% Scottish barley.

Four distinctive whiskies, each one a statement of intent from this self-proclaimed ‘Progressive Hebridean Distiller’.

And all available for guests to sample at Spirit of Toronto, for just one night.

Award-winning Bourbon marks its continued commitment to golf with a special 94-Proof Small Batch Bourbon honoring the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club

LOUISVILE, Ky.

Additionally, the commemorative bottles are crafted from carefully selected barrels from Heaven Hill Distillery’s Q and H1 rickhouses, paying homage to the PGA Championship’s return to Quail Hollow Club.

In addition to the limited-edition release, Elijah Craig will host on-course activations throughout the championship, providing attendees with exclusive opportunities to experience the rich, full-bodied flavor of this award-winning Bourbon. These activations, including the Elijah Craig Speakeasy will offer fans the chance to enjoy Elijah Craig craft cocktails, interactive experiences, and learn more about the brand’s legacy as the First to Char Oak Barrels to make Bourbon. Furthermore, Elijah Craig has invested in many out-of-home advertising outlets across the greater Charlotte area.

“Elijah Craig remains an integral element of the onsite experience at the PGA Championship,” said Jessica Burdett, Director of Corporate Partnerships at the PGA of America. “We are confident that spectators will enjoy Elijah Craig’s award-winning bourbon and premium activation experiences while watching the strongest field in golf compete at Quail Hollow Club this May.”

Poston, along with professional sports broadcaster Amanda Balionis, who all proudly represent Elijah Craig.  The brand is also recognized as the Official Bourbon and Whiskey Supplier of the PGA of America, the Ryder Cup, KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and as an Official Partner of the PGA National Club Championship. These partnerships further emphasize Elijah Craig’s deep connection to the sport and its dedication to supporting golfers who embody the same values of craftsmanship and excellence that define Elijah Craig Bourbon.

The commemorative 2025 PGA Championship Elijah Craig edition will be available in limited quantities, nationally, with each bottle displaying specific information about the Major Championship and the special barrels used to craft it. The product will begin shipping in March with a suggested retail price of $36.99.

ABOUT ELIJAH CRAIG BOURBON: Elijah Craig Bourbon bears the name of the Reverend Elijah Craig, known as “The Father of Bourbon,” who established his distillery in 1789 on the banks of Elkhorn Creek in modern day Georgetown, Kentucky. He is credited with being the first distiller to age his wares in charred oak barrels. The clear, unaged corn liquor became transformed into a bold amber liquid with a distinctively smooth flavor that makes Bourbon what it is today. Produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, the family of whiskeys includes Elijah Craig Small Batch, Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey, Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon and Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Rye, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and Elijah Craig Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. First brought to market in 1986, Heaven Hill Distillery’s Master Distillers were selecting a small number of barrels of the finest Bourbon to make Elijah Craig Small Batch long before the term “small batch” even existed. It is this attention to detail and superb craftsmanship that give Elijah Craig an ideal balance of age, robust body, and rich flavor. Elijah Craig accolades have included Whisky Advocate’s Whisky of the Year, Best Small Batch Bourbon, Best Single Barrel Bourbon (aged 11+ years) and Best Straight Bourbon at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and Excellent Highly Recommended honors at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

Canadian Distillery Continues To Dominate: Macaloney’s Distillery wins 4 more Golds at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards, securing global recognition – Canadian Whisky News

Macaloney’s Distillery wins 4 more Gold Medals at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards, securing global recognition

Victoria’s Macaloney’s Island Distillery continues to make waves on the international whisky stage, claiming four prestigious gold medals at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards (WWAs). With these latest accolades, Macaloney’s has now amassed an astounding 17 gold medals since 2020—placing it among the world’s top 4 most awarded distilleries.

This comes at a critical time when Canada needs to increase inter-provincial trade and diversify its export markets away from dependency on the U.S..

Only three other distilleries worldwide, including the most revered names in American, Scotch, Japanese, Irish, and Canadian whisky, have secured more golds. This comes after Macaloneys recently dominated the Canadian Whisky Awards, taking home more golds than any other distillery, including Canadian Whisky of the Year.

 

Macaloney’s impressive wins at the WWAs included:

  •  Best Canadian Pot Still Whisky – Peated Kildara
  •  Best Canadian Small Batch Single Malt – Peat Project Sugar Kelp Peat, Red Wine Barrique
  •  Best Canadian Single Cask Single Malt – Peat Project, Washington Peat, ex-Bourbon Cask
  •  Category Best Single Malt Gold – Peat Project, Islay Peat, ex-Bourbon Cask

“To be recognised to this unprecedented extent at the global industry’s most competitive awards is a tremendous honour,” said Dr Graeme Macaloney, President & Master Whiskymaker. “These awards will hopefully show Provincial liquor buyers across Canada, and international buyers, that craft Canadian whisky is world-leading”

A defining feature of Macaloney’s whiskies is their deep exploration of terroir and merroir – trademarked as The Peat Project™. By incorporating peats from different regions and maturing whisky in a diverse range of cask types, Macaloney’s has created whiskies that showcase remarkable complexity and nuance. The interplay of peat sources (from Islay, USA, and Canada, enhanced with seaweed) with ex-bourbon, red wine, and other casks allows whisky lovers to embark on a sensory journey through unique maritime and regional influences.

Macaloneys continues to establish itself as the premier name in whisky, proving that exceptional single malts are ‘Made in Canada’. With an ever-expanding list of accolades, the distillery is cementing its status as a respected player in the global industry, competing—and succeeding—against the finest whiskies from the USA, Scotland, Ireland and Japan. At a time of such uncertainty, it is a welcome relief to know that Canada’s craft whisky industry is excelling.

NEW MAKE SPIRIT FROM VIETNAM IS NOW THE BEST IN THE WORLD

NEW MAKE SPIRIT FROM VIETNAM IS NOW THE BEST IN THE WORLD

A Vietnamese spirits company is celebrating after winning a prestigious global whisky award.

Về Để Đi Pale Ale New Make has been voted the World’s Best New Make & Young Spirit by the World Whiskies Awards, this week.

Launched in 2020, Về Để Đi, is known domestically for its Vietnamese gin, made with local botanicals, and its creme de cacao, made with award-winning local cacao nibs. However, the brand was conceived with the specific mission of launching the first full-scale whisky distillery in Southeast Asia, producing single malt and indigenous corn whiskies.

Co-founder of the Hanoi-based craft distillery Về Để Đi, Dr Michael Rosen, says: “As the honour of this World Whiskies Award surprise settled last night in London, I woke up our master distiller, it was 3am or 4am in Vietnam. “Edward, our Pale Ale was just announced as Best in the World in the New Make & Young Spirit category!” “Dude,” he said, he’s American, “I told you it’s exceptional.” And he hung up. 
So when the sun rises in Asia, we’ll share the news with our team, a tremendous encouragement for subtropical distilleries, for all of us dedicated to hand-batched craft distillation and ageing.  This award is an encouraging step as we look forward to sharing Vietnam’s fist single malt whiskies with the world.”

The World Whiskies Awards (WWA), part of the prestigious World Drinks Awards program, are organised by The Drinks Report, a division of Paragraph Publishing, an industry leader in beverage media. The awards recognise the very best in all internationally recognised styles of whisky.

Each year, whiskies from around the globe are rigorously blind judged by an independent panel of the world’s top whisky experts to determine the best in each category and, ultimately, the best in the world.

Về Để Đi is Vietnam’s first whisky distillery. Master distiller Edward Tiege (previously of Copalli Rum in Belize), heads up the distillery on the outskirts of Vietnam’s capital. It is equipped with a 3,000-litre copper pot wash still, 2,000-litre copper pot spirit still, 4,000-litre mash tun, and six 3,000-litre fermentation tanks.

Về Để Đi is redefining Vietnamese spirits from Southeast Asia’s first full-scale independent craft distillery producing whisky, rum, gin and tropical liqueurs.

Về Để Đi’s Brown Ale New Make and Pale Ale New Make were awarded Gold and Master at the 2024 Spirits Business Global World Whisky Masters.

Glen Scotia unveils ‘Campbeltown Malts Festival 2025’ limited edition whisky – Scotch Whisky News

Glen Scotia unveils ‘Campbeltown Malts Festival 2025’ limited edition whisky

Multi-award winning Campbeltown distillery, Glen Scotia has revealed its 2025 Festival Edition in celebration of the Campbeltown Malts Festival, the annual event which draws whisky lovers from around the world to discover the region’s rich whisky-making heritage.

The Campbeltown Malts Festival 2025 release is a charmingly unconventional dram, in keeping with Glen Scotia’s yearly festival bottlings, which are renowned for bringing bold and intriguing flavours and creating an element of surprise.

The new 9-year-old single malt is heavily peated, a unique offering from Glen Scotia which dedicates just four weeks each year to its peated spirit production.

After being fully matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, the whisky has been finished for five months in the finest Ribera del Duero red wine casks, directly sourced from the prestigious wine-making region in Spain.

This process results in vibrant flavours of ripe red fruits, juicy blackberry and a whisper of liquorice, each layer adding to the whisky’s complex character. Glen Scotia’s distinctive maritime style is also present, unfolding with notes of creamy vanilla overlaid with rich peat smoke.

The Campbeltown Malts Festival 2025 edition also returns with a unique on-pack experience, offering an insight into the distillery and the incredible journey to Campbeltown that makes the festival so special each year.

By scanning the on-pack QR code, fans will be able to experience the magical journey to the ‘Wee Toon’ with three of Scotland’s top travel influencers as they embark on the beautiful voyage to the distillery’s Campbeltown home.

Whisky lovers will have the chance to join Chris Lawlor (@chrispaullawlor) who was voted Scottish Travel Influencer of the Year 2024, Graeme Johncock (@scotlands_stories) and Barbara Gajewska (@discovermyscotland) as they travel the remarkable Kintyre peninsula by foot, sea and road.

Available to purchase online and in specialist retailers globally, Glen Scotia’s Campbeltown Malts Festival 2025 release is non-chill filtered, bottled at cask strength (54.3% ABV) and retails for £68.

Iain McAlister, Glen Scotia master distiller and distillery manager, said: “This year’s Festival Release promises a unique experience that will transport you straight to Campbeltown with your first sip. As well as delivering the maritime and salinity notes synonymous with Glen Scotia, this whisky also provides an element of surprise as it develops on the palate. The finish brings a bold burst of vibrant flavour from the Ribera del Duero red wine casks which is a distinctive pairing with the heavy peat.

“The virtual on-pack experience also offers something really special this year – our remote home on the Kintyre peninsula makes for a wild and beautiful journey that not everyone is able to take. Now people can experience what it’s like to make the spectacular journey to Campbeltown with a selection of Scotland’s top travel content creators.

“There’s no better way to savour a dram of this year’s limited edition single malt than by embarking on an unforgettable journey, whether by road, foot, or sea and we look forward to welcoming Glen Scotia fans who are making this journey to join us at the 2025 Campbeltown Malts Festival.”

Glen Scotia’s events at this year’s Campbeltown Malts Festival (20 and 21 May) will see some of its finest drams poured and will celebrate the town’s past as the former ‘Victorian Whisky Capital of the World’. The distillery will present a range of both ticketed and free events which celebrate the region’s rich history and connection to its distilling past.

Among the Glen Scotia experiences on offer, visitors will have the chance to explore the components of the Campbeltown Malts Festival 2025 edition during a deconstructed tasting with Global Brand Ambassador Gary Mills. They will also be able to celebrate a decade of Glen Scotia’s world-famous Victoriana single malt with an in-depth tasting hosted by Master Blender Ashley Smith.

Tomatin Distillery cooper named among world’s best with prestigious award win – Scotch Whisky News

Tomatin Distillery cooper named among world’s best with prestigious award win

Allan Bartlett, cooper at Highland distiller Tomatin, has been named ‘Cooper of the Year’ at the 2025 Icons of Whisky Awards.

Allan has been coopering at Tomatin Distillery for 21 years, including five years of training under the distillery’s former head cooper, Iain Duthie, who served for 39 years.

Allan previously won ‘Cooper of the Year for Scotland’ in the 2025 Icons of Whisky regional awards, before progressing to take the global title.

Allan is only the third person to take home the prestigious ‘Cooper of the Year’ accolade in the 19-year history of the awards, and the second from a Scotch whisky distillery. Introduced in 2023, the coveted award was won by Andy Moore from Loch Lomond Distillery in its inaugural year, and by Rafa Cabello from Casknolia in Spain’s Andalusia region in 2024.

As part of his role as Tomatin Distillery’s cooper, Allan is responsible for inspecting each and every cask before it is filled and making repairs when required. In his time at Tomatin Distillery, Allan has worked on more than 37,000 carefully selected casks.

Tomatin is one of just four distilleries in Scotland to have an on-site cooperage. This facility is essential to the distillery’s first-class maturation policy, which begins with the cask. By bringing barrel repairs in-house, Tomatin can closely guard its reputation for quality and work with a wider range of suppliers than most other distilleries.

As well as purchasing casks from cooperages, Tomatin also works directly with wineries, breweries and distilleries to source barrels for maturing its exceptional Highland single malt, allowing the expert team to produce a diverse range of whiskies.

Allan Bartlett, cooper at Tomatin, said: “To be internationally recognised by the Icons of Whisky Awards as a leading figure in the industry is a real privilege, and I’m thrilled to take this award home to Tomatin Distillery. I wouldn’t be here without Iain Duthie, who taught me the tricks of the trade.

“Coopering is a traditional craft which requires care, commitment and skill, taking years to master. I’m proud to play a role in preserving this important part of Scotch whisky heritage at Tomatin.”

With a proud heritage dating back to the 15th century, Tomatin has been a home for the whisky-making team’s dedicated craftsmen and their families since the current distillery was established in 1897.

Run by the team at Whisky Magazine, the Icons of Whisky awards aim to celebrate the best and brightest people and places in the sector.

About Tomatin Distillery

Tomatin is located in the Scottish Highlands, 16 miles south of Inverness, and is famous for its portfolio of refined and elegant whiskies.  The distillery has a proud heritage stretching back to the 15th century when illicit production was likely to be taking place, but it wasn’t until 1897 that the first formal distillery was established by John MacDougall as the Tomatin Spey Distillery Company.

In 2022, Tomatin was awarded ‘Scotch Whisky Producer of the Year’ and ‘Outstanding Spirits Producer of the Year’ at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC). Later that year, it was recognised as ‘Sustainable Distillery of the Year’ at Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky 2023, in recognition of its continued contribution to sustainably at the distillery.

In 2023, Tomatin’s success continued when the distillery’s ‘Legacy’ was awarded Gold at IWSC. That same year, Tomatin also took home seven awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while Cù Bòcan, took home three. Tomatin’s 36 Year Old was crowned the ultimate winner at SFWSC for malts, being named ‘Best in Show’, officially making it one of the best whiskies in the world.

Building upon this triumph, 2024 saw Tomatin’s 18 Year Old secured Double Gold for the third consecutive year at the SFWSC, elevating it to Platinum status. Meanwhile, both Tomatin’s 45 Year Old and 12 Year Old, alongside Cù Bòcan’s 15 Year Old took home Double Gold Awards, and Cù Bòcan’s 12 Year Old also secured a prestigious Gold Award.

At the 2024 IWSC Awards, Tomatin Legacy was awarded the IWSC Trophy for no age statement single malt Scotch, demonstrating its exceptional quality as best in class.

This year, Tomatin has been awarded Gold designation for its Tomatin Sherry Collection Ximénez Edition and Silver for both its Sherry Collection Manzanilla Edition and Sherry Collection Palo Cortado Edition in the inaugural 2025 Whiskey Wash Awards.

‘To What Matters’ is the latest chapter in the brand’s evolution; it is a positive call to arms that represents the spiritual DNA of Tomatin – a belief in savouring what is truly important in life and time spent together.

Tomatin is owned by the Japanese company Takara Shuzo International: www.takara-intl.co.jp/en/
