Danish Whisky Award Scottish whisky on top On Saturday the 18th of October the Danish Whisky Association elected “the best whisky sold on the Danish market 2014”. The award took place during the event: ”www Falster” at Hotel Falster in Nykoebing Falster. The traditional Scottish whiskies were back on the top. During this weekend a large group of whisky enthusiasts selected the best whiskies in Denmark among 34 different whiskies. This was the 2nd Danish Whisky Award. The interest and support was positive, so it is definitely an event that will be an annual award, says Jens-Erik Jørgensen from the Danish Whisky association. He continues: “Whisky enthusiasts in general (no professionals) tasted and rated the whiskies. In other words it is the consumers who select the winning whiskies”. Great comeback for Scottish whisky Last year Scottish whisky won only 1 category – this year Scottish whisky won 3 categories, so they are back on the throne, tells Jens-Erik Jørgensen. “Juul's Wine & spirit store” in Copenhagen got most awards with three of the winning whiskies. Danish whisky was introduced for the 2nd time Another focus of the tastings and awards was to focus on Danish whiskies. Denmark participated, this year, in the awards with seven different whiskies. Last year there was four whiskies in the competition, and seven this year is very good, and all the distilleries who has whisky for sale was participated. It was the first time ever, with a blind tasting with seven whiskies. The quality of the whiskies seems good for the future, and I am looking forward for next year, Jens-Erik Jørgensen says.
