Welcome to Inbox, our weekly round up of whisky news and PR material that has found its way in to our WFE email. It was created as we cannot write full articles or do justice to every piece received. It features items from around the world of whisky and is published by us each Friday. Within Inbox we aim to write a few lines detailing each press release/piece of news/PR event that we have received and provide links, where possible, for you to find out further information.
This will be the final Inbox of 2022 and it will return on the first Friday of January. We would like to wish all our readers a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. We hope that 2023 delivers everything that you want. Anyway, here is the round-up of the news from this last week.
