10 Whisky Brands To Follow On Instagram
let’s begin
Everyone has a favourite brand and interacting with that brand is part of that experience.
Instagram provides us with a great way to interact and view brands from a fresh perspective. This technology was not available a decade ago and now we have this amazing opportunity to see brands as they see themselves, and to get a closer glimpse at what goes on behind the scenes. We’ve brought together some of the brands we think make up the 10 Whisky Brands to Follow on Instagram.
If you never thought you needed an account that stages bottles of Whisky in front of grass and rocks then I’m here to tell you that you do. You need exactly that. And Lagavulin are the distillery to follow for just this. They use their bottles as props to show you the stunning backdrop of Islay and the wonderful scenery that helps create some pretty fantastic malt. This is the account Instagram was made for.
Like Lagavulin Suntory like to position their Whisky is interesting places to show of the incredible backdrop of the country it is made in. This time there is a lot more blossom, creating a fantastic contrast to the typical green rolling hills that we often see in scotch Instagram accounts. The Japanese background really sticks out and adds a truly beautiful imagery to the fantastic drams in the foreground. In fact some of their best images don’t even have a bottle of Whisky in the shot. This is the account to follow for all you photography enthusiasts who enjoy a dram on the side.

Compass Box already have a fantastic look and their Instagram account just adds to this. They have many different expressions, each with a different style, and their Instagram explores them all and connects them in a wonderful overarching theme. There is no sense of disconnect or mismatch here but rather each different expression is celebrated individually and also as part of the wider Compass box family.
Kavalan is a Whisky brand that is fast on the rise. Their Instagram gives you a glimpse into the wonderful world where they craft their product. You get to see the people behind the scenes as well as parts of the process that contribute to making such fantastic drams. Similar to Suntory they also explore their scenery around the distillery and each photo is aesthetically stunning and of a high quality. This speaks a lot about the quality of Kavalan overall and creates a fantastic style around the brand.

French Whisky brand Brenne are able to catch the easy going and fun filled style of their product with their bright and colourful Instagram shots.

This account is refreshing and adds a new perspective on a timeless drink.
