The Whiskey Wash Awards is an independent, no-fee competition that recognizes the best whisky expressions reviewed by our team in 2024. Of the 63 American whiskeys reviewed in 2024, 31 have been awarded a medal: Double Gold, Gold, or Silver. 
As such, below you will find a list of every award-winning American whiskey from our inaugural awards. Each expression was independently reviewed and scored out of 10. A perfect 10/10 score earned an expression a Double Gold medal with 9/10 achieving Gold and 8/10 achieving silver. You can view the lists of award-winning scotch whiskies here, bourbons here, and World whiskies here.
