After winning a gold and a silver medal last year at the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition, we had ended our celebratory newsletter with a promise: that we would be back in 2023, and that would be doing our best to take the jury by surprise with eve MORE stunning whiskies. And we do not take promises lightly…
So, for this new edition of the TWSC, we went back to Japan with some really great malts: some that are available worldwide, and a couple of special releases for our Japanese importer ePower… and we won 4 medals, twice compared to last year!
The number of entries this year was so huge that it took three months for all the judges to complete the blind tastings to award these medals, and here are the results for Wilson & Morgan:
SUPERIOR GOLD:
Dailuaine 15yo
Sherry Finish PX
(55,3%) W&M459
SUPERIOR GOLD:
Linkwood 15yo
Sherry Finish Oloroso
(54,6%) W&M455
GOLD:
Clynelish 25yo
Sherry Finish Oloroso
(48,7%) W&M452
SILVER:
Benrinnes 2013
1st fill Bourbon Barrel
(46%) W&M451

Thanks again to our Japanese distributor ePower, and to all the team at TWSC for their impressive effort and organization! Now, speaking of promises… we can’t say we’ll double the medals once again next year, but we will surely do our best.
See you in 2024, Tokyo!
