10th Street Distillery Wins Double Gold at Whiskies of the World
The 10th Street Distillery has once again proven its excellence on the international stage. Its Triple Cask Single Malt has won the prestigious top award of “Best in Show, Double Gold” at the Whiskies of the World 2024 competition.
As part of the judging, the award-winning whisky, nicknamed “Dragon”, stood out among hundreds of other world-class candidates, including Scotches, Irish whiskies, Rye and Bourbons, as well as Single Malts from Japan, India, Australia, and New Zealand.
“This is the second time one of our whiskies has earned the distinguished ‘Best in Show’ title at a major international competition, firmly establishing American Single Malts as a force to be reckoned with on the world stage,” said Virag Saksena, CEO at 10th Street Distillery.
“This award is more than just recognition; it’s a testament to the passion, dedication, and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle we produce. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible team and loyal supporters for making this possible.”

Having first matured in STR casks, then California Pinot Noir casks, and finally finishing in Port casks, it presents a tawny port hue. Its palate reveals waves of toffee, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts, balanced by layers of spice and charred wood.
In addition, at this year’s competition, 10th Street Distillery’s Cut Peated Single Malt won a Double Gold Medal.
The blend was crafted from Peated Barley aged in Bourbon casks and then finished in Port casks. It has a symphony of flavors, with a smoky, earthy core accented by luscious notes of smoked cherries, followed by a velvety port finish that lingers.
The Whiskies of the World competition is known for its meticulous blind-tasting process. By removing details of producer and price from the process, the best whiskies-like 10th Street-are recognized for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
