SAANICH, BC, March 27, 2020 /CNW/ - Macaloney's Caledonian Distillery's peated single malt whisky new-make has been named Worlds Best Whisky New Make at the 2020 World Whiskies Awards, UK. These prestigious annual awards are the most competitive, attracting top international whisky brands. The Vancouver Island based distillery claimed several top WWA's including:
This Scottish influenced distillery & brewery uses traditional distillation techniques, copper potstills, and Canadian barley to make surprisingly smooth, and remarkably fruity and complex single malts.
Dr. Graeme Macaloney, President & Whiskymaker said of the awards: "It's a truly amazing accomplishment for our young distillery. There are some really fantastic distilleries, years and decades older, with more mature whiskies who regularly compete for these awards. These awards are a testament to our world class expertise including the late-great Dr. Jim Swan, ex-DIAGEO Master Distiller Mr. Mike Nicolson, and the rest of our team who focus on quality every day."
The Best in World New-Make has since been matured into Macaloney's Peated Mac na Braiche, the first ever peated single malt whisky in Canada to be peat-smoked at the distillery using Canadian barley and local peat in a combined soaker-smoker. It is available at top liquor stores, the distillery Visitor Centre, and online via the distillery's website.
The other Gold and Bronze medal whiskies will be part of Macaloney's 'inaugural whisky launch' being planned for the near future. Pre-orders for these limited release, numbered bottles may be made by contacting the distillery shop on a first-come basis.
