06.12.2022 - 16:33 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A whisky from a family-run distillery has been crowned the top blended Scotch whisky at The Scottish Whisky Awards.
Jackton Distillery won the coveted Gold Award for the best blended Scotch whisky at the awards in Edinburgh for its RAER Oloroso Expression Blended Whisky, officially making it the best in the world.
The whisky was voted on by a panel of expert judges as the best of the best in a blind taste test.
RAER Oloroso Expression Blended Whisky beat some of the most well known and internationally acclaimed blends to claim the title, including Johnnie Walker.
Reacting to the news, Claragh Kean, the youngest member of the family, simply said: "Ya belter!"
In response to the win, Sales and Marketing Director of Jackton Distillery Katie O'Brien stated: "We are simply overjoyed to win this award, it is recognition of all the hard work put in by everyone at RAER. This gives us such a boost as we await our first Malt coming of age in a few short months."
Jackton Distillery is located in the village of Jackton, approximately nine miles south of Glasgow. The family first began its "pursuit of single malt Scotch whisky perfection" at the start of 2020.
The Original RAER Whisky is blended to a secret recipe which is "naturally smoother and sweeter to create a particularly easy drinking dram, even for those who would not naturally reach for a whisky first".
Jackton Distillery has also revealed a number of cocktail suggestions with its RAER whisky.
More information can be found on the RAER website.
