The Whisky Cub wins big at San Francisco World Spirits Competition
Three of The Whisky Club’s releases have been awarded Gold and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
The San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC), one of the oldest and largest competition of its kind and dubbed ‘The Oscars of booze,’ is renowned for setting the standard in excellence in the industry and awards quality, craftsmanship and distinction.
The competition recognises both globally known distilleries as well as small batch producers and emerging distilleries.
Three of The Whisky Club’s releases, including two whiskies made exclusively for the Club, have been awarded Gold and Double Gold.
Redbreast Pedro Ximénez (PX) Edition
It wowed the judges at San Fran, it’s had whisk(e)y lovers around the globe absolutely drooling and critics raving — and it’s finally here. Thanks to our relationship with the Irish legends, we’ve secured a batch just for The Whisky Club.
Redbreast Pedro Ximénez (PX) Edition was first released in 2021. Since then, it’s been on whiskey lovers and collectors' most-wanted lists. And here in Australia, thirsty punters have parted with more than $200 to get their hands on a bottle.
