Icons of Whisky 2018

It’s that time of year again as the team here at Whisky Magazine begins the Icons of Whisky process for the 2018 awards, and we are very excited to be able to announce two new regions for this year. Australia and Ireland are joining the ever-growing list as we begin our search for the finest people and places in the whisky industry.
