Bowman has asked everyone to participate in World Whiskey Day 2020 virtually and share glimpses of the celebration with #YouDeserveADram.

Every year, a special message is crafted for all the dram lovers. Let’s have a look at World Whiskey Day 2020 Message

“To the seasoned specialists, to the eager newcomers.

To the single malt purists, to the DIY mixologists.

To the distillers, bottlers, retailers and everyone in between.

World Whisky Day has come once more.

We’ve been celebrating on the third Saturday in May for 9 years now.

It’s become a landmark on the whisky calendar.

But things are different this year.

There will be no big parties, no mass tastings.

No sessions in the pub to debate your blends from your single casks, your Highlands from your Lowlands, your bourbon from your rye.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our favourite tipple.

We all still love whisky, wherever we may be”.

The message also spoke about the frontline workers, including the healthcare staff, essential service providers and other professionals, who are working round the clock in the COVID-19 battle.
