All Single Malt Scotch Whisky Winners From The World Whiskies Awards 2026

The Scotland heat of the World Whiskies Awards 2026 has once again underlined the global standing of single malt Scotch whisky. Announced at a ceremony held in Edinburgh’s historic Signet Library, the results bring together producers from across Scotland, spanning established distilleries and smaller, more experimental names.

The medal winners in the Single Malt Scotch Whisky category reflect a wide range of regional styles and production approaches, from classic, time-led maturation to more contemporary expressions. Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals recognise whiskies that stood out in blind tasting, judged on balance, character, and overall quality.

Gold medallists from the Scotland heat will now progress to the global stage, where they will compete against category winners from around the world. The World’s Best titles will be revealed in March 2026.

So, here are all of the medal-winning single malt Scotch whiskies from the World Whiskies Awards 2026.

Please Note: The World Whiskies Awards has yet to publish the full list of Single Malt winners from the Lowlands region on its website. As it stands, we only have access to the Gold medal and Category Winning expressions. The Whiskey Wash has contacted the World Whiskies Awards for comment.
