๐Ÿฅƒ Happy International Scotch Day! ๐Ÿฅƒ

Here at SWE, we have celebrated the day in many different ways over the years. From inviting members of the global Scotch whisky community to share their stories of a special bottle from their collection in our 'The Bottle I Never Opened' campaign, to our fun whisky emoji quiz!

This year, we asked the team how they were going to celebrate today. What a range of answers we were given! Find out more here:
