As a new business, every recommendation and positive piece of feedback is a milestone we cherish. At Barrel & Brand, our passion lies in sharing the world of premium whisky with enthusiasts across the UK, and when we hear from groups like the Usk Valley Whisky Society, it reminds us why we do what we do.
We recently had the incredible opportunity to work with James and the members of the Usk Valley Whisky Society in South Wales. Kevin Blair, founder of Barrel & Brand, led a tasting session featuring the distinguished Macaloney’s Island Whisky from Canada. With 40 enthusiastic members in attendance, it was a night to remember.
James and his team had this to say:
"Kevin made an outstanding presentation to our club. Forty members turned out for the event, and they were not disappointed. The presentation and tasting sessions were extremely well-received. Feedback from the members was overwhelmingly positive, and we have no hesitation in recommending Kevin & Barrel & Brand as knowledgeable representatives for the whisky sector."
Hearing such positive feedback from an esteemed group like Usk Valley Whisky Society motivates us to continue offering the highest level of service and expertise. Our goal is always to educate, entertain, and create memorable experiences for whisky lovers, and knowing that our efforts are appreciated makes it all worthwhile.
