About this update from Artisanal Spirits Company Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nRNS Reach\n \n26 March 2025\n \nThe Artisanal Spirits Company plc\n \n(\"The Artisanal Spirits Company\", \"ASC\" or \"the Group\")\n \nArtisanal Spirits Company celebrates 10 years of passion, heritage and culture\n \nThe Artisanal Spirits Company (AIM: ART), the creator of outstanding, limited-edition whiskies and experiences around the world, and owner of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (\"SMWS\" or \"the Society\"), Single Cask Nation (\"SCN\") & J.G. Thomson (\"JGT\"), will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a limited-edition release of a special bottle available to Spirited* shareholders. \n \nOn 27 March 2015, the Artisanal Spirits Company acquired the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, kicking off a journey of delight and discovery. Over the last 10 years, membership of the Society has more than doubled to over 42,000 and revenue is almost five times what it was in 2015. ASC now owns almost 10 times as much whisky as it had, with 18,000 casks ready to fill over 5 million bottles of whisky for the future. The Group has grown too, with the launch of J.G. Thomson and the acquisition of Single Cask Nation in the USA.\n \nIn the 10 years since establishing the Group from a small office in Leith, ASC has evolved into a company with a presence around the world in over 30 countries. New opportunities along the way have most recently included the launch and release of The Creators Collection, a new series from the Society that showcases the liquid art of whisky making and the visual art of illustration, an acceleration of ASC's US operations, the creation of a state-of-the-art production facility at Masterton Bond and with it the ability to offer full bottling services for third party customers.\n \nTo commemorate the occasion, ASC has released 260 bottles of a limited-edition 10-year-old bourbon-cask single malt Scotch whisky, for Spirited* shareholders to purchase exclusively. Evoking flavours of sweet woods, apple, vanilla and plums poached in red wine, as well as oiled hardwood floors in an old banquet hall, chai, nettles and spiced peaches, it is certain to delight the senses and make a fitting tribute to the 10-year milestone.\n \n*Spirited shareholders are SMWS members who hold at least 1,000 ASC shares\n \nAndrew Dane, Chief Executive of Artisanal Spirits, commented:...
