Baldrine based businesses take 'gold medal' award
A Baldrine company which produces whisky using materials sourced on the Isle of Man has won a ‘gold medal’ at the World Whiskies Awards.
Manx Whisky Company took the top spot in the 'Small Batch Single Malt Under 12 Years' category at its first attempt.
Co-founder, and distiller, Magnus Grinneback said: "We are proud of all our medals but this one feels different.
"It’s the first time we’ve competed in a category that includes older whiskies not just young or unaged spirits.
"To see our three-year-old whisky come out on top alongside much older competitors is something we’re beyond excited about!"
He spoke to Simon Richardson:
Winning the gold medal means the company's 'Single Cask #4' product is now in contention for the coveted title of 'World's Best Small Batch Single Malt Under 12 Years.'
