We’ve scooped a prestigious Great Taste Award for our Whisky Smoked Salmon at the Great Taste Awards 2014.

Our product was one of 10,000 to enter this year’s awards and was judged by a national panel, which included revered foodies such as Masterchef judge and restaurant critic, Charles Champion, BBC Food Programme presenter Sheila Dillon and buyers from Harrods, Fortnum & Mason and Selfridges.

As The Guild of Fine Food, which organises the awards, states ‘Great Taste is simply about taste, not clever branding or smart packaging’. The judges are presented with a spoonful of jam, a pie or, in our case, a piece of smoked salmon, and then asked to taste, confer and re-taste before coming to a decision.

And we’re pleased to say that they’ve made the right one – and who could blame them when it comes to a smoked salmon that’s been slowly smoked in our red brick kilns and infused with Balvenie Whisky to bring a rounded sweetness enhancement to the smoked salmon.

As you can imagine we’re over the moon to receive our fifth Great Taste Award – and look forward to receiving many more!

In the meantime, if you’ve tasted our Whisky Smoked Salmon then you’ll know what all the fuss is about. If not, you can buy a pack here.
