Presentation
The results of grain provenance in the world whisky industry
A plethora of new whisky distillers in the Scotch, Japanese and American whisky industry are already finding success in putting grain provenance as a unique sales point. For some the entire brand is based on it, for others it's a specialty product line. Julian will give us examples of how international brands have put these products together and how they're being received by consumers.
