Georgian whisky Jimsher won a number of 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 further Silver for its gorgeous nose,” notes Amy Hopkins, the author of article on The World Whisky Masters 2017 results.

Jimsher Whisky, a relatively new brand on the Georgian market, is a matured whisky which undergoes a one-year aging process. Made from the Georgian wines Tsinandali and Saperavi as well as Georgian Brandy casks, Jimsher Whisky claims to be prepared with the “best traditions” with a second stage of aging in casks in which Georgian Brandy was previously kept. This method is said to bring a unique aroma to the whisky, “allowing you re-discover whisky with a specific Georgian accent.”

For Jimsher Chkhaidze, the owner and founder of the brand, winning so many silver medals at the prestigious World Whisky Masters means that Jimsher Whisky will have an honorary place among Georgian export produce.
