Scapegrace is celebrating a major international win at the prestigious World Whisky Awards in London.
Our Vanguard Whisky has been named the Gold winner and Best in Category of the Single Malt no age statement category at the World Whisky Awards, beating out some of the world’s top brands for the honour.
Our Co-Founder Mark Neal says it’s a milestone moment for the team.
"The World Whisky Awards represent the pinnacle of international whisky competitions, so winning this award is a massive achievement for us," said Neal.
"We’re incredibly proud of our team, and it’s fantastic to see our whisky receive this level of recognition."
Vanguard truly showcases the best of New Zealand, having been distilled with glacial waters from the Southern Alps, using locally grown barley, in the remarkable climate of Central Otago.
“The end result is a highland malt-esk whisky which is rich, elegant and subtle. It’s a great whisky and we’re pleased it’s making waves internationally,” said Neal.
