that's a fake news, https://www.forbes.com/sites/felipeschrieberg/2019/02/28/fak...
This site is unwatchable on safari ios.
So is the whiskey any good?

Tried it a while ago; surely it's not Lagavulin, but it's good.
The independent really grinds my gears with autoplay
Netto isn’t going that sit by and let Lidl just dominate like this.
Same thing as Aldi's whisky last year.
Can you get it in the u.s.?
Lidl is just getting started in the US where liquor laws are nonsensical so i would guess not, especially since the only stores i know of are in NJ & PA. NJ - they wont be paying $1M+ for a license, of which they can only get 2 for the company in the whole state, plus they are a discount grocery store; and PA - only state stores can sell hard liquor.
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.

'World's Best Scotch Whisky' according to the article.
A lot of these Lidl/Aldi awards don't stand up to scrutiny.

Which is weird because that is not a category World Whiskies Awards lists on their competition site. The closest category they have that this would fit in would be Blended 12 Years & Under

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