Chivas Brothers, the Scotch whisky arm of Pernod Ricard, has collaborated with sake brewery Masuizumi on a new spirit.

Label 5 blended Scotch whisky has launched its first single grain whisky which will initially roll out in the UK market.

Scotch whisky makers, Compass Box, have introduced a new, limited-edition expression named Delos, a Scotch inspired by flavours of the past.
