A Vancouver Island distillery was one of just two Canadian distilleries to win a top award at the 2023 World Whiskies Awards.
The Macaloney's Island Distillery in Saanich B.C. won the competition's World’s Best Pot Still award for its Kildara Signature Expression.
Competition for this year's awards was stiff, according to competition organizers. More than 1,500 different whiskies from more than 40 different counties were tasted by roughly 200 judges. "Winning World's Best Single Pot Still for our Kildara, along with three gold medals for Best Canadian Single Malt, Best Canadian Single Cask Single Malt, and Best Canadian Pot Still was breathtaking," said Graeme Macaloney, president and whiskey maker at Macaloney's Island Distillery.
