In our Whiskeria magazine Autumn 2024 issue, we highlight the endeavours of two recipients of the Scott Dunn Award, a prize founded in remembrance of the much-missed manager of our Inverness shop, who passed away suddenly in 2021.
The award is presented to support staff members in their chosen entrepreneurial pursuit. Lynsey Edmunds (Manager of our Multrees Walk store) put her prize towards her business, Lukenbooth Larder Tablet, which you can find in our three Edinburgh locations.
She said: "I feel so honoured to have received this award set up in his memory."

New In: King's Inch 8 Year Old π
The King's Inch 8 year old is an excellent example of a bourbon and sherry cask vatting made to be bottled at a younger age statement.

Produced in Glasgow, the Lowland single malt is presented at 46% abv, and is a small vatting release of just 1,500 bottles.
