DWA, a tri-level and multi-dimensional whisky knowledge and tasting experience
Diageo Whisky Academy is sometimes referred to as the "China Europe International Business School" within the whisky industry. Twenty senior Scotch whisky experts, including the world's leading whisky gurus Charles MacLean, Dave Broom, Dr. Nick Morgan, and Mr. Sam Lu, chief consultant of the Diageo Whisky Academy, have spent years perfecting a three-level course meant to precisely grade the understanding and appreciation of Single Cask Single Malt Scotch – a must have insight for all whisky lovers looking to refine their tasting experience.

A Ten-year DWA Penetration Strategy
Mr. Mark Edwards, General Manager of Diageo China, speaking to China's soon-to-be first DWA branch in Guangzhou, China, commented:
"Scotch is vibrant in China, and for the foreseeable future, whisky in itself will no longer satisfy consumers. The first DWA branch is one of the main initiatives launched by Diageo in Greater China that will continue through the next decade. Maintaining a leading role in the dissemination and promotion of whisky culture is a necessity, but building a communicative sharing platform for whisky lovers seeking to "progress further" is most paramount.
Diageo has always sought out a partner with the same vision for the Chinese whisky industry, and TRIWIN, specializing in high-end whisky and single cask consultant professional services, fills that void with long-term investments in whisky education and experience-backed strength through cultural and social integration meeting international standards. We have full confidence in the China DWA penetration strategy for the following decade."

High-end Consumers Thirst for Knowledge on Scotch Whisky
Mrs. Vivi Shen, a DWA Honorary Consultant and General Manager of TRIWIN, expressed full confidence in the strategic cooperative, saying:
"Chinese whisky consumers have deepened their desires in terms of professional requirements for whisky consultant service providers in recent years. Among first and second tier cities, in-depth whisky enthusiasts are no longer satisfied with online advertising exposure. Specifically, in high-end and single cask categories, we are seeing strong desires for the strengthening of professional understanding.
Level 2 & 3 DWA courses entered the Greater China region in a timely manner three years prior, becoming a prioritized source for advanced consumers to acquire whisky expertise. TRIWIN is deeply impressed by the experience of collector services provided by the "Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao" Greater Bay Area. At this time, we have an opportunity to deepen whisky knowledge and tasting experiences for the majority of high-end whisky consumers, while combining existing culture with the DWA penetration strategy, the world's leading premium drinks company. I believe that in the future, we can build a solid foundation for the cultural exchange bridge for whisky in Greater China. "

"Expanding Quantity" Will Go Hand in Hand with Quality
Mr. Sam Lu, Chief Consultant - DWA, L3 Mentor of DWA commended:
"Toward the end of 2016, I was fortunate to be the principal consultant of DWA, and participate in the development of the DWA systematic structure. Throughout my consulting, I assisted in the compilation of DWA Level 1, Level 2，Level 3 course materials & exam questions, and trained respective DWA Level 1 and Level 2 instructors. I truly believe that Diageo, the world's leading premium drinks group, is responsible for whisky lovers in Greater China. The entire team abandons typical constructs and uses the authentic taste of spirits as a springboard during DWA experiences in more than 40 cities across the country.
Participating in the official signing ceremony today in the capacity of a signing witness, I really felt honored and dignified. Over the past three years, DWA’s primary response signaled by "quality performance" has endured. At this moment, "quantity extension" will go hand in hand with quality. China has remained a country with a strong spirits culture since ancient times. It is believed that with the high-quality whisky sharing content of DWA APP, the cities of Greater China will be able to converge on the essence of spirits culture. "
