It’s this time of the year again, when all the crème de la crème of the whisky industry gathers in London for an evening of food, drinks and awards speeches ! I was fortunate enough to be amongst the judges of the WWW18, and I’m quite happy to see we put the World Whisky category at center stage this year 😀 [Although, I would have still liked to see some more Scotch names popping up^^]
