Wild Scotsman Launching in Cleveland Market
Wild Scotsman Launching in Cleveland Market
by Jeffrey Topping
It has been just under a year since my Ohio broker had pulled the plug on its High Proof Spirits Division to create a hybrid with its wine group. I am please to announce that we are officially launching our Wild Scotsman Program with Heidelberg Wine in the Cleveland/Akron Market this Friday.
This will be a change for everyone, however, I am confident that the wine group is fully capable of handling craft spirits like Wild Scotsman. Whether it’s fine wine or craft spirits the sales process is the same, hand sell. If you are an “on” or “off” premise license holder in Ohio do not forget to ask your Heidelberg Wine rep about the Wild Scotsman.
Products Available in Ohio:
-
OH-0950B Blend No 888 Scotch Whisky
OH-9605B Wild Scotsman 15yr Blended Malt Scotch Whisky This is a special 80 case release for Ohio
OH-9606B Wild Scotsman Black Label Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (cigar Malt)
OH-9607B Wild Scotsman 12yr Royal Lochnagar Single Cask Single Malt Scotch
The bottle codes start with an “OH” then the product number (i.e. 9605) and then the bottle size. A “b” means that the product is a “750ml” bottle. Your local retailer can make an order request based on the information provided. They may also be able to help you find a store which does carry the product in some cases. If you are having a problem getting product sent to your local liquor store please email Wild Scotsman with the Name of the store, agency number, phone number, contact person, and the product you wish to buy.
cheers,
The Wild Scotsman
The Birth of a new Distilling Era, Box Malt Whisky
The Birth of a new Distilling Era, Box Malt Whisky
by Jeffrey Topping
It is official, on December 3, 2010 clear spirit came off the wash still at Sweden’s first Malt Whisky Distillery, Box. This has been a culmination of many years of hard work by everyone involved just to get to this point. According to consultant and Master Blender/Distillery of Scotch whisky John McDougall, “Today, 3rd December 2010, when the 1st new spirit flowed at the Box Malt whisky Distillery was the beginning of the end of a journey of passion for me which began in Umea November 2004 with initial discussions regarding the building of this fabulous whisky distillery. It is the culmination of peoples’ passion, emotion and dedication”.
This is one of many micro-distilleries around the world looking to bring the knowledge of ‘Old World’ distilling from Scotland and making into their own tradition, style, and passion. I look foreword to sampling many great things from this Distillery in Sweden.
Good Show!
