 Feb 2016 :  We are humbled and honoured with our recognition in Whisky Magazine’s 2016 “Icons of Whisky” awardsFor the 2nd year in a row, we have been recognized as  “Highly Commended” or runner up for Single Outlet: Whisky Retailer of the year. Last year we were stunned to learn that we had finished 2nd behind Berry Brothers & Rudd, a 300-year-old London wine merchant, with its own independent bottlings which also owns The Glenrothes single malt brand. This year we finished 2nd behind Dublin’s famous Celtic Whiskey Shop and we share the 2nd place honour with Whisky Brother of South Africa. We’d like to congratulate the Celtic Whisky Shop on their win as well as our podium mate Whisky Brother.

 

 

 

Icons of Whisky

 

 Feb 2015:  KWM was named runner-up for Whisky Retailer of the Year 2015, by Whisky Magazine in their Icons of Whisky – Rest of the World Category (excludes Scotland and the US). We took 2nd place behind Berry Bros and Rudd,  which is a high honour considering BBR is also an independent bottler and owns the Glenrothes single malt brand. We are the only Canadian store to have been so considered, as we have been the last 3 years!
