Langatun triumphs in the Wizards of World Whisky Awards

Langatun has picked up three Gold Medals and been named Alpine Distiller of the Year in the Wizards of World Whisky Awards. The Gold Medals were awarded to the Langatun Jacob’s Dram, Old Bear Cask Strength and Old Woodpecker editions, with the Old Bear Cask Strength also being named Alpine Whisky of the Year.

Commenting on the success, Christoph Nyfeler, Joint Owner, said 'I'm always very honoured to receive such acknowledgement as a small Swiss Whisky producer. Specially when it comes from the motherland of whisky and when we are compared to the best producers around the globe.' 

The Wizards of World Whisky, now in their sixth year, are organised by whisky author and commentator Dominic Roskrow, who noted that the Alpine region is ‘now producing some of the most exciting whiskies in the world’. 

Whilst the Langatun Old Woodpecker is not yet available in the UK, a selection of Langatun bottlings, including 'Alpine Whisky of the Year' Langatun Old Bear Cask Strength are available from Gauntleys of Nottingham, Master of Malt,  Nickolls and Perks, Shop4Whisky and The Whisky Exchange, amongst others.
