Time for some more tasting notes now, but first a quick check on the predictions…

Well, the Ardbeg debate has definitely kicked off on the forums, with the news that the official website have raised their price of Ardbeg 10yo to £36.99 and the other two major online whisky sites selling out (or at least declaring that they’re out of stock). That’s one tick for the predictions (although as I said at the time, it was a total gimme, so it doesn’t really count).

Next up, I’m delighted to report that my last prediction (TWE to continue being the Daddy) is also coming true already, with us being crowned as World Online Whisky Retailer of the Year at Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky awards for the second year running!!  This is particularly gracious of Whisky Magazine, who organise the awards, in the light of some harsh words from these quarters in the not-too-distant past.

TWE: Independent Spirits Retailer of the Year 2009

We’ve been saying it for a long time and now we’ve got proof!  At the Drinks Retailing Awards dinner on Tuesday night (in the Dorchester, no less), The Whisky Exchange scooped the gong for “Independent Spirits Retailer of the Year 2009″.

We don’t go in for teary emotional speeches, so we’d just like to say a massive Thank You to all our customers and friends.  We won’t be resting on our laurels either.  If you haven’t been yet, now is the perfect time to visit our shop in Vinopolis, gawp at our incredible range and see for yourselves. Look out for a lot more to come from The Whisky Exchange in 2009…

Cheers,
