¡Felicitaciones Arsenal campeones! Me gustó mucho cómo consiguieron el título - con garra, determinación y perseverancia cuando muchos no creían que tuvieran la fuerza necesaria. Es una valiosa lección de vida: cree siempre en ti mismo, sigue adelante y nunca te rindas. 👏👏👏

From grain to glass, Scotch Whisky relies on high-quality cereals supplied by dedicated growers across Scotland. 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.

🥃 Great to welcome the China Alcoholic Drinks Association (CADA) to Scotland last week: an important opportunity for our two industries to reaffirm our shared priorities with a joint statement committing support for a thriving global spirits sector, from protecting GIs to championing trade between our two nations, and promoting sustainability and the long and distinguished heritage of our iconic drinks.

Our thanks to Chairman Song Shuyu and the CADA delegation for visiting Scotland, and thank you to our member companies and industry colleagues for hosting these visits.

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: https://t.co/JDiqgzPSBr
