Discover Whisky

As part of our whisky news articles I thought that I would put up some quick links to things that we’ve found interesting over the last week or so.

The Drammies

Spencerfield Spirits have been nominated in this years drammie awards - so congratulations to Alex & co. They’ve been nominated in the underrated whisky category.

On the downside I have been reading some news that Diageo tried to over influence the drammies this year. This is disappointing. It would appear that they over-zealously voted for themselves - it was the fact that the email addresses they used were from Diageo’s web address that may have given them away.

It’s also good to see Dr Whisky in as nomination for a blog too, so well done to them too.

Changes to the Website

In the recent months we’ve been working on developing a news facility for the website The news system is going well, cheers to all who helped, we should have this public in the next few months and everyone can go on and bookmark their favourite whisky news stories/blogs/etc. at this point. Just need to get the design right and we’re good to go.

We’ve also started changing the header image more and more - we’re now booked up for the next couple of months. There is no charge to have your image up at the top of this blog so if you have an image of your favourite whisky we’re happy to listen to any suggestions just use our contact form and we’ll see what we can do.

Up and coming news

Bill and I will be taking Discover Whisky on the road in March - otherwise known as Bill and Mike go to a carefully selected public house to sample some whisky. We’re planning on going to Edinburgh so if anyone has any suggestions of where to go or fancies coming along let us know in the comments below.

That’s all for this week - Bill has an Islay whisky review on Thursday so we’ll see you all then.
