Here at The Whisky Shop, we have our finger on the pulse of the spirits industry. Although primarily a whisky retailer, we stock brands from across the spirits industry, and have noticed a few trends that we think will gain steam in 2024. Let's take a look.
Traditionally, a Burns Supper consists of a meal of haggis neeps and tatties - topped with a creamy whisky sauce. Followed by a whisky infused, Cranachan dessert and washed down with a dram or three.
The Royal Burgh of Campbeltown lies at the southern tip of the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll and once boasted over 30 distilleries, which led it to be known as 'the whisky capital of the world'. Only three now remain: Glen Scotia, Glengyle and Springbank, with their expressions known to be especially smoky, oily and briny.
The Macallan's latest collaborative project brings together the iconic Highland single malt and luxury car makers, Bentley Motors: two establishments with a strong dedication to stellar craftsmanship.
This May plays host to two whisky festivals: Campbeltown Malts Festival and Fèis Ìle, for which the participating distilleries have released commemorative bottlings. Most are only available at the distillery on the day, however we've got our hands on a handful of them.
