World Whiskies Award Winners

Once again this year’s competition has been incredibly hard fought with some of the winners being separated by very slim margins.
There have been intensive rounds of tastings by Whisky Magazine’s independent editorial panel drawn from the best journalists and retailers across the world, and also by industry representatives made up of master blenders, distillers and brand ambassadors.
To get to the final results we are to reveal today, three rounds of blind tastings were held.
Full results, including sub categories and category winners can be found at http://www.whiskymag.com/awards/wwa/
