The Verdict Is In

It takes guts to put your whisky up against those from around the
world in blind tastings and agree to publish the results no
matter what, but the verdict is now in for The Judgement of
Westland. Around 2,000 people tasted Westland's American single
malt against competitors from Scotland, Australia, and India over
the last four months, and in the end, all four malts were
separated by just a fraction of a point. We'll discuss the
findings with Westland's Steve Hawley on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In
the news, Scotch Whisky exports are starting to recover from the
double whammy of U.S. tariffs and the pandemic, while Biden
Administration officials want to increase competitiveness in the
American spirits industry. We'll have those stories, along with
the new leader in the race to bottle the world's oldest whisky.
