It has been a little bit since I last visited with Marcia, and A LOT has been happening in the interim. To say that it has been a crazy, great, busy year for both her and the Ironroot Republic team would be a vast understatement. This dynamo of a human was just awarded the Icons of Whiskey Distillery Manager of the Year award by World of Whiskey. AND, building on a history of award-winning liquids, the Ironroot Republic team and brand have launched and been lauded for their recent creations as well. 2024 World of Whiskey - Ironroot Republic Hubris Straight Corn Whiskey - Gold 2024 World of Whiskey – Ironroot Republic Apotheosis Finished Bourbon – Bronze 2024 World of Whiskey – Ironroot Republic Harbinger Single Barrel Bourbon - Bronze 2023 USA Today 10 Best Craft Whiskey Distilleries - Readers’ Choice Award 2023 World of Whiskey - Icons of Whiskey Master Blender/Master Distiller – Jonathan Likarish - Highly Commended World of Whiskey 2023 - Ironroot Republic Apotheosis - World's Best Finished Bourbon World of Whiskey 2023 - Ironroot Republic Hubris - World's Best American Corn Whiskey Marcia attributes these accomplishments to a strongly held belief that "we do not achieve life's goals alone".  She encourages team building with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. She also advocates for the suspension of personal ego in the pursuit of knowledge. Her favorite quote explains her philosophy and it is hard to argue with her when her family’s operation demonstrates the results achieved with the application of it. “Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge… is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.” ― Bill Bullard Her words of wisdom for us all? Do not underestimate yourself or your teammates. Much can be achieved with the suspension of ego and the drive to achieve.

In the 1980s and 1990s, dozens of Scotch Whisky Distilleries closed their doors. Some, like The Imperial, for ever. Lots were demolished. The Casks of the Scotch Whisky they made, they didn't get demolished, somebody bought the. Who this 'somebody' is, is just one of the many Scotch Whisky Secrets. There are rather a lot of them. The complex story of 'who owns what Cask' is extremely complicated and I won't go into it, here. Mainly, because I don't know. Nobody does! What Casks are left? Geographically, where are these Casks? How many Casks are there, all over Scotland? To be Scotch it HAS to be in Scotland. Suffice to say, the 'Scotch Cask Transfer' saga of 'who owns what' makes the 'who pays the wages of a Loanee Professional Footballer?' look relatively straightforward. What IS clear though is that the 'Old and Rare' aspect of Scotch Whisky is absolutely huge. Nobody's prepared to say HOW huge. Because nobody knows. #ScotchWhiskyTruths

Have you heard of Auchlossan Whisky? Chances are the answer is no, and the reason is that they have just launched their inaugural release! It's a wonderful dram, launched in collaboration with Lost Loch Spirits Ltd and the Whisky Teuchter. Read my review on this single cask, sherry influenced 10 Year Old from the Miltonduff Distillery. #lostloch #whisky #whiskyreview #auchlossan #singlemalt

Thankyou Rosemary Gallagher for your excellent piece. Producing a Scottish Rye Whisky as our first brand, RyeLaw, was a clear statement of intent. InchDairnie Distillery is all about flavour, something that I think is often lost when people talk about Scotch Whisky. Now that whisky is produced globally we need to get back to the basics, flavour and provenance. RyeLaw is a Scottish Rye Whisky which does not fit into the current legal definition and for that reason we have to put Grain Whisky on the front of the bottle. This is not very helpful when a Rye Whisky has a different flavour profile to a traditional Grain Whisky. This achieves the exact opposite of why the whisky categories were first developed. They were developed to better inform the consumer, we are now confusing the customer. InchDairnie is a Fife distillery producing a Fife Whisky from Fife cereals. InchDairnie will always be Fife and never just Lowland, another challenge for us.

 A good case study for trends in  #customerexperience and  #retaildesign where you come to a branded space NOT to do shopping; you come to meet each other, intimately,    #chivasbrothers #brandstorytelling #scotchwhisky

Sullivans Cove introduces Australia’s oldest single cask whisky to the market: Sullivans Cove Distillery adds another layer to its legacy with the release of its 24-year-old single cask spirit. The award-winning Tasmanian distillery recently announced the limited run of the HH0004. With it comes an expression that not only surpasses the brand’s 22-year-old record-breaking blend, but also exudes newer levels of depth and complexity in flavor. The distillery’s understanding of long-term maturation in full-sized casks is highlighted here. Conceived during Sullivans Cove’s fifth year of operation, HH0004 spent the past 24 years slowly maturing in their bond store. Sullivans Cove’s sensory panel would end up tasting the expression a total of 19 times in the past three years alone to ensure that it has reached its true potential. #comingsoon # #sullivanscovedistillery #singlemaltwhisky #investment #tasmania #tasmaniaaustralia #privateclients #privatewealth #collector #singlecaskwhisky #madebypeople #craftsmanship #oldcask #luxury https://lnkd.in/gg6UVZD9
