The Scotland heat of the World Whiskies Awards 2026 has once again highlighted the depth and diversity of blended Scotch whisky. Announced at the Signet Library in Edinburgh’s Old Town, this year’s results recognise producers who continue to refine and elevate one of Scotland’s most established whisky styles.
The medal winners in the Blended Scotch Whisky category represent a broad spectrum of flavour profiles and blending philosophies, from time-honoured names to newer innovators gaining momentum across the industry. Each medal reflects both craftsmanship and consistency, judged against some of the strongest competition in recent years. The Gold medal recipients will now move forward to the global stage, where they will compete for the ultimate accolade of World’s Best in March 2026.
See below for a full list of the Blended Scotch Whisky winners from the World Whiskies Awards Scotland 2026.
