We've had a brief break from new media over the Festive period (not from work on the whisky website where it has been MANIC) but now we're back with avengence for 2010.
In coming weeks and months you'll see new stock, new suppliers, new marketing deals and announcements and a whole host of developments as we begin to build on the lessons learned in 2009 and progress from our business plan applied into 2010.
I'll do a full round up of where I think we are after our first year of begin live towards the end of December or early in January - suffice to say we are ahead of our projections on virtually all levels and keen to push on

Happy Festive Greetings !
Following a fabulously busy and successful Festive period we've now stopped taking orders for Christmas delivery.
Between now and the 4th of January we are accepting orders as usual but within our usual five working day delivery where possible (given the bank holidays etc this may slip a little).
Have a great Festive break and enjoy your whisky !

Sorry John
John
You rang me earlier today chasing a bottle of Macallan Amber, you left me a number and asked me to call back once I'd checked if it was available - it's not I'm afraid but the number you gave me doesn't have a voicemail attached to it and I've tried it three times this afternoon - sorry but I couldn't get hold of you - here's hoping you check out our blog or Twitter account !

RSS Feed
I think i may have blogged about the following topic before in the last few weeks - you'd think I'd be able to be bothered to locate and link to this item on my own blog - but I can't .....
Anyway, we currently have 9 subscribers to this blog (as shown when you search for 'Prestige Whisky' on the search function on google reader). I think I'd asked people to subscribe in a previous blog and see if we can up the numbers a bit.
However, despite the raging success of the website traffic at www.prestigewhisky.com; over 1100 visits to the blog and now nearly a 1,000 followers on Twitter we still can't get past 10 subscribers.
Come on, it's the festive period - subscribe via your favourite rss feed thingy and give us some more good numbers to end the year.
Ta !

Busy at PW towers
We're beginning to see a large rush on orders for Christmas and in the UK you've got until Friday to make your order over at www.prestigewhisky.com.
For everywhere else I'm afraid the chances are that your order will now be coming across in either the two or three working days between the 25th of December and the New Year or in early 2010.
If you're in the UK and still need that special gift, feel free to drop us an e-mail at info@prestigewhisky.com or call on either 0845 6254395 or 07883 882064 and one of our Elves will be waiting to point you in the direction of the correct dram.
Enjoy !

Christmas Shopping Deadlines
We wanted to let our blog readers know the relevant dates for guaranteed Christmas deliveries.
We don't use the Royal Mail, in actual fact we have a firm of very professional couriers that we partner with who offer us far more flexibility and support.
Our dates breaks down as follows :
For UK deliveries the last day for guaranteed delivery before the 25th is Friday 18th of December
For EU it will be the 14th of December
In the case of World wide deliveries anything on or before the 11th should be ok.
Although the website will be open and taking orders throughout the festive period and the whisky elves at PW towers will be available to answer all of your queries we won't be able to dispatch orders from the 24th of December up til Monday 4th of January 2010.
Enjoy Christmas !

Twitter widget
Just an update - the Twitter widget problem is endemic with this widget and as such I've deleted the feed until the problem is resolved.
you'll need to actually go to www.twitter.com to find us - search under whisky1 and join the party !

updates ...
Had a bit of a flurry of activity on Twitter in the past couple of days and we now have over 900 followers with more joining hourly - hopefully as we add more content in the site and blog as we move towards Christmas we should have more interest for www.prestigewhisky.com coming from Twitter.
On the subject of Twitter, I've deleted and re-submitted the Twitter widget on this blog as historically we've ended up a couple of times with other peoples Twitter feed - hopefully this is now resolved - fingers crossed.
Coming next week at PW - more whiskies as we move into the festive period proper - this week we're hoping to add IWSC Gold Award winners to the site.
We're also going to do a re-vamp of our promoted stock as well imminently.

1,000 visits to this blog !!!
We've just passed the milestone of 1,000 separate visits to this blog.
Not sure who was the 1,000th person to visit but thanks anyway - big achievement for us.
On a different note, it seems that again the Twitter feed appearing isn't ours ! Please therefore ignore anything that appears until I blog again and confirm it's whisky1 talking.
