Georgian Whisky Jimsher Wins Silver Medals at World Whisky Masters 2017

Georgian whisky Jimsher has won several silver medals at the World Whisky Masters 2017 competition held in London. 

“The first round of the competition, Europe – Blended Standard, produced two Silver medalists hailing from Georgia: “easy drinking” Jimsher from Georgian Brandy Casks and “waxy, fruity” Jimsher from Tsinandali Casks. Moving into the Europe – Blended Premium round, Jimsher’s success continued, with Jimsher from Saperavi Casks securing a furtherSilver for its “gorgeous nose,” notes Amy Hopkins, the author of article on The World Whisky Masters 2017 results. 

Matured whisky, undergoing a 1 year aging process from the Georgian wines Tsinandali and Saperavi as well as the Georgian Brandy casks, Jimsher Whisky, which as a brand appeared on the Georgian market not so long ago, claims to be prepared with the “best traditions” with its second stage of aging in casks, where traditional Georgian Brandy was previously kept, the method which is said to bring a unique aroma and taste to it, “making you to re-discover whisky with a Georgian accent.” 

For Jimsher Chkhaidze, the owner and founder of the brand, winning several silver medals at a prestigious World Whisky Masters means that the Jimsher whisky will have an honorary place among Georgian export produce, and may soon become one of Georgia’s main reasons to visit.
