RAER, the independent, family-owned distiller based in Jackton near Glasgow, has once again triumphed at the prestigious Scottish Whisky Awards, with its RAER Pedro Ximénez Expression winning gold and being crowned the best blended Scotch in the world. This remarkable victory was celebrated at the awards event held last night, marking RAER’s second consecutive win in this esteemed category.
Following its 2022 triumph with the RAER Oloroso Expression, this year’s success solidifies RAER’s reputation for crafting exceptional blended Scotch whiskies that resonate with both connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
“The Scottish Whisky Awards is a benchmark of excellence, and winning the Gold Medal, again, is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality,” said Jaynie Kean, Director at RAER. “The RAER Pedro Ximénez Expression is a harmonious blend that combines the richness of first fill Pedro Ximénez casks with the distinctive character of RAER’s Original Blend. This award is a recognition of our team’s passion and dedication.”
