This is the foundation of the strong ties between Scotch Whisky and Scottish agriculture. Last week, our team joined supply chain partners @NFUStweets at Girvan Distillery to discuss how we can work together to support the future success of our industries.

The UK alcohol duty system needs urgent reform 👇 That's the call from a coalition of spirits industry representatives as @HMRCgovuk data shows a £94 million drop in revenue for 2025/26. Spirits like #ScotchWhisky have seen a 17% rise in the last three years. That burden is hitting producers hard and driving up costs for bars, pubs and restaurants, leaving consumers feeling the impact. The data from the past few years is clear - freezes and cuts to alcohol duty raise revenue for the Treasury; increases to alcohol duty reduce it. Today, alongside eight other organisations, the SWA is calling on @hmtreasury Autumn Budget to take action and support the UK’s world-class spirits industry: scotch-whisky.org.uk/newsroo…
