It is a pleasure and a privilege for us at Whisky Magazine to compile our list of inductees for the Hall of Fame each year. To do so is to catch a glimpse into the upper echelons of the whisky world — not in any materialistic sense, but in terms of knowledge.

Among our inductees this year we have welcomed master distillers, company founders, visitor experience managers, a whisky author and judge, a cooperage founder, and a brand ambassador. It is a fitting tribute to the fact that creating the very best whiskies is not the work of an individual but a diverse team.
