The English Whisky Awards 2024
Welcome to the inaugural year of the English Whisky Awards
Join us to celebrate the amazing showcase of English Whisky with our community led awards highlighting the high standard of English Whisky.
Inspired by the highly successful Online Scotch Whisky Awards, this new platform seeks to shine a spotlight on the innovation, craftsmanship, and passion driving English whisky to new heights.
Inspired by the same democratic principles, the English Whisky Awards invite whisky enthusiasts from around the world to share their voices, vote for their favorite distilleries, and discover exceptional spirits and brands.
Have your say by voting!
While English whisky is still a growing market, it’s reach internationally has been growing rapidly and we wanted to champion this exciting movement. You can also share the word and connect with us on socials to help make this a true community reflection of English whisky 2024.

As this is our first year, the goal is to keep our celebration of English Whisky as smooth and streamlined as possible. Find below the three categories for 2024:
One specific bottle of English Whisky that you feel provides you with the best value. This does not mean the cheapest but the one that exceeds in quality in comparison to the cost.
Select up to three English Whisky Distilleries from the list of all active distilleries to date. Factor in: Distillery tours, marketing, range of whisky, quality, practices etc
The big one. Add in one specific bottle of English whisky that stands out to you as the best English Whisky you have tried.

Winners Announced Live
These awards are solely for fun, intrigue and insights which is being fully run and funded by whisky enthusiasts and not experts.
We understand the passion around whisky so we trust you to join us with an open mind as we look to celebrate and promote the best of English Whisky.
A collaboration between two whisky loving English WhiskyTubers who have fallen for the quality and variety of English whisky and wanted to celebrate what has been achieved!
2024 will be our first year to have attempted anything like this, so we tread cautiously into this new adventure and of course with approval from Roy as we nod to other community led whisky awards.
For transparency and integrity Jeff & Vin will not be voting and will try ensure as fair playing field for all brands.
The focus is for this to be fully community led with a simple form allowing as many people as possible to be involved.
Our aim is to keep the process as smooth and slick as possible while the awards are in the early stages. A Google form will be created where you will be able to either add in your own choices or select from a drop down list.
Once voting has closed we will count up the votes and provide each category a list of 3 runners up and 1 winner in each category. Both the launch and winner announcements will be streamed live on the Jeff Whisky YouTube Channel.
For me (Jeff), it is a simple answer: Yes.
While I am predominantly a Scotch whisky drinker I have been inspired by the rise of “World Whisky” and feel like we need to shine the light on our own regions and celebrate the amazing whisky that has been created. With the standards of whisky rising in one distillery/region/country it encourages others to up their game and ensuring that us the enthusiasts are getting the best out of our whisky.
English Whisky has been one of the largest growing regions in my whisky collection over the last few years and I am excited to celebrate the now and cheers to hopefully a bright English Whisky Future.
Have a question or seen a mistake, do let us know via this form.
Please note Vin and Jeff work full time jobs around Whiskytube so there maybe a delay in responding but will do all we can to get back to you as quickly as possible.
Cheers.
