This site is unwatchable on safari ios.

So is the whiskey any good?

Netto isn’t going that sit by and let Lidl just dominate like this.

Tried it a while ago; surely it's not Lagavulin, but it's good.

In what category and what was it up against?

The only link I could find in any article was to here: http://www.worldwhiskiesawards.com/winner/whisky/2018

And there it says the Johnnie Walker Gold Label won best blended.

Edit: Newspaper linked to last years results. Apparently this years results haven't been announced yet and will only be announced on 28 March 2019.

I am trying to wrap my head around this.

This was supposedly coming from the following website http://www.worldwhiskiesawards.com/winner/whisky/2018

But have search low and high to find the Lidl Whiskey Queen Margot, but i have been unable to find it in any awards.

From a quick google search various website spread the same news, but none actually link to a reputable source for this.

As far as i can find Lidl won the chain supermarket last year whiskey award while Aldi have just earned a Gold Medal at the 2018 Scotch Whisky Masters awards.

The two winners are the Highland Black 8-year-old Blended Scotch and their Glen Marnoch Islay Single Malt.

Can someone please enlighten me if i am wrong ...

Edit: Just found this link https://www.forbes.com/sites/felipeschrieberg/2019/02/28/fak... That explain that the so called websites are really as expected ... not to be trusted.

might be a hoax. it's the same article word by word everywhere and no proof on the contest website.
