ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — The best whisky in the world may very well be distilled in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Newfoundland Whisky by the Newfoundland Distillery Company earned a whopping 97 points at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and is one of five whiskies nominated as a “Best in Class” finalist, besting nearly 5,500 entrants.
The distinction from one of the most influential spirits judging in the world comes with a Double Gold Medal stamp, one of only 12 awarded in Canada and the only in Atlantic Canada.
