The Icons of Whisky Scotland are presented in Edinburgh each year and continue to celebrate the nation’s top people, bars, producers and retailers.
The process remains the same as other years, although we have included some more categories to this year’s awards to mirror the growing reach and impact of whisky.
As well as the Icons from Scotland, the magazine has inducted two new members of the Hall of Fame, honouring their outstanding contributions to the whisky industry.
We welcome Maureen Robinson, Diageo master blender, and Dr. Bill Lumsden, director of distilling, whisky creation & whisky stocks for Glenmorangie, to the Hall of Fame.
