2022 Canadian Whisky Awards

The 2022 Canadian Whisky Awards (CWA) were announced via live stream by Davin de Kergommeaux on Thursday, January 13, 2022.

This year’s Best Whisky honours went to Crown Royal Nobel Collection Winter Wheat.

The Canadian Whisky Awards, held annually since 2010, recognize the very best Canadian whiskies and encourage distillers to maintain the highest quality standards. To qualify, the whisky must be distilled and matured in Canada. An independent panel of whisky experts selects the winners after tasting each whisky blind.

The complete results are available at the Canadian Whisky Awards.
