World Whisky Awards 2022

Well the World Whisky Awards 2022 was recently held and there were definitely some surprises and new distilleries taking out coveted awards. One of the key highlights would definitely be a huge congratulations to Australian Distillery “Sullivan’s Cove” who took out “Craft Producer of the Year” adding to their multiple WWAs titles. Another key highlight would have to be “The Lakes Distillery” taking out the award for “Worlds Best Single Malt”. We absolutely love what Lakes Distillery are doing behind the helm of The Lakes Whisky Maker Dhavall Gandhi.
