Scotch Whisky Masters judges praised Draughtsman’s “rich, rounded and spicy” aroma, leading to “similar flavours on the palate with butter icing and well-balanced spice”, awarding it the coveted Master medal in the Blended Malt – Ultra Premium category.

IWSC judges awarded Riveter single grain an impressive 92 points and a silver medal due to its ‘bold expression with pineapple, pear and peach aroma and flavour characteristics combining with a full-body and textured palate ending on a strong spiced finish’.
