Prestige Whisky on Twitter

In case you haven't found us there yet, we regularly tweet under the name whisky1 on Twitter. We're also featured in 17 Twitter lists and host our own whisky retailers list as well.

Coverage of PW is expanding and we're becoming a regular feature of the market place as we drive sales forward.

The Dalwhinnie 20 Year Old

We just wanted to draw your attention to this wonderful whisky. It's available at £ 124.99 plus postage at www.prestigewhisky.com and has consistently proved to be one of our most popular products.

We think it's the combination of exquisite flavours and the brilliant Dalwhinnie brand - it's a fantastic whisky and well worth the pennies

Potnetial new PW Experience partner

We're in talks with a potential new PW Experiences partner (see the PW Experiences section at www.prestigewhisky.com).

They are a specialist coffee house/deli based in Leeds, going to visit the owner this morning and see if there is interest in being featured on the site and blog.

Will update asap

Updates to PW website

Two changes to mention today. Overnight we have added the Hankey Bannister 40 Year Old to the Blends section of the website. This lovely whisky is available at £ 364.99 per bottle and is a Gold Award winner from the '08 IWSC.



In addition we have added in a new section entitled 'PW Experiences'. You'll find this new tab at the top right of our home page at www.prestigewhisky.com. The aim with introducing this section is to allow our customers access to not only the best in whisky to buy on the rest of the site but also feature some great whisky related tours, hotels and holidays. We're currently talking with our first potential marketing partner and full details will feature in PW Experiences when everything is agreed. Suffice to say we'll soon be enabling you to visit the spiritual home land of your favourite whiskies !

Found this wonderful image on the internet of snow bound Britain, if anything can help keep out the cold it's a nip of whisky - see if there's anything you fancy at : www.prestigewhisky.com

Blog Tweaks

We've just implemented a couple of tweakettes to the blog this morning.

The background is a little different and we're also trying a little lighter text - no real reason just a bit of a change for the New Year. There are also a couple of new pictures to make things more interesting and varied. Same old content though I'm afraid.

I would however like to take this opportunity to say hi to our new readers who've come via Twitter (I think there have been four or five since I last posted an update on Twitter about this blog) - so hi and enjoy.

We've also had a massive bump in readers at this blog. At the end of December when I last put together web stats we had had 850 visits, we're now up to 1220 - our feel is that in addition to our valuable customers who want to keep up to date, there is also now traffic from whisky industry observer and insiders - we will hopefully be featuring content that will interest everyone in coming months.

Please, please, please remember that although we massively enjoy writing this blog and Tweeting merrily away, it's not a charity so get across to www.prestigewhisky.com and buy something ! (only half-joking - we still have to pay the salaries of the Christmas Elves who did such a sterling job over the festive period. Of course we'll also need to begin budgeting for the Easter bunnies who will shortly be arriving at PW Towers to begin work as we move towards April.

Added this week

The Talisker 57 Degrees, a super Island whisky for £ 50 plus P & P and also the Macallan Sherry Oak 12 Year Old.

Macallan has long been one of our favourite tipples and we strongly recommend this one at £ 35.00 plus postage.

Both are available at www.prestigewhisky.com

Over 1,000 followers on Twitter

We have cracked the psychologically important barrier of 1,000 Twitter followers today - 1,022 at the last check and rising.

Importantly we're now also included in 12 Twitter lists, this has risen from 5 just before the Festive break. It seems that news of PW and this blog (with over 1200 views) is now rapidly becoming important to the scotch whisky industry.

We're hoping to bring you interviews and news from industry players in coming months too.

Watch this space !
