Welcome to The Whiskey Wash Awards 2025, an independent, no-fee competition that recognizes the best whiskies reviewed by The Whiskey Wash Team throughout 2024.
Below you will find a list of all of the award-winning expressions from The Whiskey Wash Awards 2025.
The Whiskey Wash Awards Scoring System
In 2024, we reviewed over 300 expressions and awarded each whisky a score out of 10. This straightforward scoring system is designed with the everyday drinker in mind. You can read more about our methodology and scoring system here. Each award-winning expression was rated an 8 (Silver), 9 (Gold), or 10 (Double Gold).
Awards & Categories
Of the hundreds of whiskies reviewed in 2024, three categories stood out: scotch, bourbon, and American whiskey. To include expressions hailing from other regions, we also created a World Whisky category.
Each category was given a winner, with many other stellar expressions awarded Double Gold, Gold, and Silver medals. Follow the links above for lists of the award-winning expressions in each category.
