Awards show spirits industry is alive and kicking

The International Wine & Spirit Competition has honoured a total of 502 Scots spirits.

The competition began when wine chemist Anton Massel founded Club Oenologique in 1969. Massel had the idea of creating a wine and spirit competition which was based not just on organoleptic judgement but where all entries also had to undergo chemical analysis.

In 1978, the name was changed to the International Wine & Spirit Competition.
