Three Whiskies Recognised at The Scotch Whisky Masters 2026

We're proud to share some excellent news from The Scotch Whisky Masters 2026, judged blind by a panel of independent, experienced judges who gathered at The Mayfair Townhouse in London, as part of The Spirits Business's Global Spirits Masters Competitions.
Three of our whiskies were recognised in this year's results:
WhiskyHeroes The Malt Marauder (Glen Moray, 11 years old, Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky) – Master, Single Malt: Speyside – Single Cask
Judges described it as "unctuous, very moreish, with a bright, light, and surprisingly zesty finish."

Cask Masters Campbeltown 11 Year Old Festival Release (Blended Malt) – Gold, Blended Malt – Ultra-Premium
Judges picked up notes of "coconut, vanilla, panna cotta and a hint of citrus peel."

Whisky of Voodoo Coven Of The Red Veil (14 year old, Cameronbridge & North British Blend) – Gold, Blended Grain – Ultra-Premium

The Master medal is the highest honour the competition awards, reserved for whiskies that stand out for their excellence, character and complexity. We're delighted to see The Malt Marauder take the top spot in the Speyside Single Cask category, a real reflection of the character that first fill Oloroso Sherry cask brought to that Glen Moray.
This was a strong year for Scotch whisky more broadly. Judges tasted entries across every region, from Speyside and the Highlands to Campbeltown and Islay, with Glen Scotia's Campbeltown Malts Festival Edition 2026 ultimately crowned this year's overall Scotch Whisky Taste Master.
Our thanks to the judges and organisers for their time and expertise. You can read the full results on The Spirits Business website here.
