Super Liquor are proud to be the principal sponsor for the 2019 New Zealand Whisk(e)y Awards, ‘The Drammys’ for a second year. The awards programme was developed to showcase the whiskies from around the world available in the New Zealand market.
This year, The Drammys saw an impressive increase in submissions with over 165+ whiskies entered. With a vast selection of global whiskies from Scotland, America, Canada, Ireland, Japan, and New Zealand. Two new categories were added for this year; Whisky Innovation Award to celebrate the unique creativity in whisky and the New Zealand Whisky class to showcase the New Zealand made whiskies.
Bryan Cherry, Marketing and Merchandising Manager for Super Liquor Holdings, says, “The Drammys celebrate the best whiskies we have in New Zealand, the market is diverse and growing, and the results this year show that”
