Best Single Malt Scotch Whisky Revealed at SF Competition, Oct 5-7

The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, often dubbed the 'Oscars of Spirit Competitions,' held its annual judging event in April. As the anticipation builds, the finalists for the coveted Best In Show award are set to be revealed during a grand gala on October 5-7, 2024. This year, five expressions of single malt scotch are in contention for the top honor, showcasing the finest offerings in the whisky industry. Among the notable contenders is the Tomatin 45 Highland Single Malt Scotch, alongside the exclusive Aberlour 2010 Double Cask Matured, which is available only to members of The Whisky Club in Australia. This limited batch release marks a significant milestone in Aberlour's 145-year history, as it is the first time the distillery has created a one-off release exclusively for a membership service. For those unable to access the special release, the standard Aberlour 12 serves as a commendable alternative, offering a double maturation process at a more accessible price point. The event promises to be a highlight for whisky enthusiasts, providing an opportunity to celebrate the craftsmanship and artistry behind these exceptional spirits.
