The Cheshire Single Malt English Whisky Wins Two Prestigious Medals…

🥃 We’re delighted to announce that The Cheshire Single Malt English Whisky from Weetwood has been awarded a Silver Medal🥈at the 2025 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), one of the world’s most respected and influential spirits competitions.

This recognition highlights The Cheshire Single Malt’s exceptional craftsmanship, character, and commitment to quality. Judged by an expert panel of global industry professionals, the IWSC Silver Medal is awarded only to spirits that demonstrate outstanding complexity, balance, and refinement.

The tasting notes from the judges were as follows: Decadent aromas of chocolate biscuit, dried fruit and damson lead to a sweet palate, rich with notes of cherry jam, toast, and leafy berry notes. A warm, spiced finish.🥃

We’re very honoured to receive this accolade. The IWSC is renowned for its high standards, and this award affirms our dedication to producing world-class English whisky right here in Cheshire. It’s a proud moment for our entire team.👏

And it follows closely on from another award – a Gold🥇at the highly respected London Spirits Competition 2025, affirming The Cheshire’s status as one of the finest craft whiskies on the market. Competing against some of the world’s most exceptional spirits, The Cheshire Single Malt impressed judges with its outstanding quality, balance, and character — earning high marks for taste, value, and packaging. The London Spirits Competition is known for its rigorous evaluation process, which not only focuses on technical excellence but also on the drinkability and overall appeal to consumers.

To be recognised among the best in the world, after only a few years making whisky, is a true honour.

Cheers!🍾
