Viking Awards 2015

2015 was a fantastic year whisky-wise. I have reviewed 176 different whiskies and visited about 50 distilleries. I will probably not beat the last number in 2016, but maybe I will exceed the number of reviews. Last year I made the awards on basis of 49 reviews, so this year, I have a much better base to go from, and I have kept the award categories the same as last year.

Remember that reviews are subjective and we all taste different things. Still, I hope that you have enjoyed my blogs in 2015 and will keep doing so in 2016!
