Seven Islands Vintage Joins Prestigious IWSC Winners Club

MUMBAI, India - Aug. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Mumbai, 13^th August: Seven Islands Vintage, the first Indian-owned premium Single Malt Scotch Whisky, has received international recognition by being awarded the prestigious Silver Outstanding Award 2013 in the Spirits Category of the international Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC).

The award comes in 15 months since the launch of this premium Speyside whisky at a glittering ceremony in London in April 2012 and subsequent India launches in October 2012 (Chennai) and March 2013 (Delhi). Seven Islands has previously been awarded the Star Awards for Best Packaging.

Judges at the IWSC, one of the world’s most respected spirits competition in its 44^th year and one that has a rigorous two-stage judging process that involves blind tasting and detailed technical analysis, described Seven Islands Vintage as having a “long, fruity finish.”

Their tasting notes for this whisky were - “fairly complex nose with vanilla, sweet mandarin, honey and butterscotch. Rich and full in the mouth where everything the nose suggested appears as flavours. Ripe apples and pears add to the mix with concentrated vanilla and butterscotch.”

Amit Dahanukar, Chairman of Tilaknagar Industries Ltd. in India that owns the brand, said: “We are thrilled with this prestigious award for our Seven Islands Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky, at such a respected international platform. The awards we have won so far, mark our success in such a short period since the brand’s launch and validates the team’s efforts in creating a premium spirit that is inspired by India and crafted in Scotland.”

 

Seven Islands Vintage brings together the best of both East and West and is appreciated by the global whisky connoisseur. The brand has many associations to its credit, including presence at the Houses of Parliament in the UK, Olympics and Wimbledon activity (UK), being associated with Rolls Royce Motorcars for its Delhi launch as well as the annual touring Seven Islands International Film Festival and the Seven Islands Pataudi Polo Cup.

 

Seven Islands Vintage is the first offering in the brand portfolio of Seven Islands, which is set to expand with the introduction of two new products in the next few months.
