Now in its 47th year, the IWSC is considered one of the most authoritative, respected and influential international spirits competitions. This year's IWSC saw entries from nearly 90 countries around the world.
William Grant & Sons' Balvenie DoubleWood 12 YO took out the Single Malt Scotch 15 Years Old and Under Trophy. The Glenfiddich 21YO, Glenfiddich 14 YO Bourbon Barrel Reserve, The Balvenie Thirty and Glenfiddich 40 YO were also each awarded a gold outstanding medal.
A spokesperson for the IWSC said, “This is sixth time William Grant & Sons has won this award. Year on year they impress with their range of products and the quality of their spirits. It’s a fantastic achievement. They have impeccably maintained the quality of their liquid and in some cases on brands well over a century old. More youthful brands such as Monkey Shoulder and House of Hazelwood are also helping to re-write the rules of the category and are justifiably held in the highest regard.”
A hugely successful year, the company further won 20 gold medals for Glenfiddich, The Balvenie, House of Hazelwood, Monkey Shoulder and Grant’s, winning 72 medals overall.
Simon Hunt, CEO of William Grant & Sons, said, “This is an incredible achievement and is testament to the skill, expertise, and dedication of our people. As a family run business we take great pride in taking a long-term view and fostering a culture of innovation. We are absolutely delighted that this has been recognised by the IWSC.”
