Wight Whisky celebrates triple win at the World Whiskies Awards 2026

Wight Whisky are proud to announce a triumphant showing at the World Whiskies Awards 2026, securing three major accolades and cementing its place among the world’s leading whisky producers. At this year’s awards, Wight Whisky’s Signature Malt Blend achieved exceptional recognition, winning:

  • Gold for Taste
  • Category Winner – Blended Whisky
  • Best English Blended Whisky

Lucy Gregg, Co-Founder of Wight Whisky says: “These awards are a powerful endorsement of our commitment to quality and our dedication to crafting exceptional whisky. To be recognised at a global level by the World Whiskies Awards is an incredible honour for our entire team.”

These honours were awarded following blind tastings by an expert international judging panel, recognising the whisky’s outstanding balance, character, and craftsmanship.

The World Whiskies Awards form part of the World Drinks Awards, a globally respected competition celebrating excellence across the international spirits industry. Launched in 2007, the awards shine a spotlight on producers from around the world, recognising both taste and design excellence across more than 35 categories, including Whisky, Gin, Vodka, Tequila, Beer, Sparkling Wine, and No & Low. Tastings are held worldwide ensuring a truly global and rigorous evaluation process.
