That the Parliament celebrates Newburgh-based bottler, Spiritfilled, on achieving a Gold Outstanding award for its Mythical Beasts Aberlour 13-year-old single malt at the 2026 International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC); understands that Spiritfilled, which was founded by Russell Spratley and Ross Archer in 2021, launched the whisky, which was finished in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask, along with four other releases, to mark the company's fifth anniversary; notes that IWSC scoring categories range from Gold Outstanding (98-100 points), to Gold (95-97), Silver (90-94) and Bronze (85-89), and that every gold-winning entry is subject to re-tasting by an independent committee member for final approval; acknowledges that this whisky stood out among nearly 550 Scotch whiskies recognised at this year's awards and that, with 98 points, the Mythical Beasts’ Aberlour was one of only six to achieve the highest Gold Outstanding distinction, placing it among the finest single malts in the world; extends its very best congratulations to Spiritfilled, and wishes everyone at the company continued success for the future.
