The New Wine Review’s Post

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲!  Today, we celebrate this timeless spirit and its incredible legacy spanning over hundreds of years and transcending cultures and generations. At PPD Global, whisky holds a special place in our hearts. We are the proud home of the best whisky brands in the world, produced in Scotland, Ireland and USA. Our portfolio features iconic names like 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫, 𝐉&𝐁, 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐭, 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬, 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐧 and 𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧 – just a taste of the world's best-selling brands. This day is a good reminder of how amazingly diverse in flavours and experiences is the whisky universe: from the smoky and spicy, to the sweet and fruity, or something in between. It holds many influences that help this most complex of spirits draw us irresistibly towards it. Just think about Scotland, with its wide variety of single malts, blended whiskies, and single grains. Or about Ireland known for its smooth, triple-distilled character with notes of honey, malt, and spice. With its versatility, whisky fosters authentic connections, bringing people together through great experiences. As Mark Twain once famously said: ”too much of anything is bad, but too much good whisky is barely enough.” Some people enjoy their whisky neat with no ice or water, while others like to bring it alive with a dash of water. Others prefer theirs on the rocks. Whisky also plays an important role in cocktail culture worldwide. Think of the classic Old Fashioned or something as simple and easy as a Scotch and soda in a Highball glass. Whether you're a single-malt connoisseur or a whisky cocktail enthusiast, we wish you happy World Whisky Day 🥃 #WorldWhiskyDay #Whisky #Spirits #Drinks
