Following the challenging blind tasting of Speyside’s finest malts, our expert judging panel selected eight finalists for the 2027 Spirit of Speyside Whisky Awards.
The final decision of course, rests with our Festival and international voters who take the opportunity to become involved in the judging process. The judging events will be held at various international locations as well as in Speyside. We encourage all Speyside whisky enthusiasts to become involved in the judging where possible.
Speyside is home to some of the most respected whiskies in the world, and selecting just a handful to reach the final is no easy decision.
