Each submission must include three (3) 700/750ml bottles of product, or three (3) 1L bottles of product. The 2018 Global Spirit Awards Judges Panel is a group of highly experienced & decorated men & women, with tremendous and diverse spirits and mixology backgrounds. The panel we have assembled perfectly fits the high level of quality and visibility that we wanted for our inaugural panel. The judging process, itself, is conducted as a 100% blind tasting process from the early rounds all the way through the sweepstakes rounds. Award Winners will be able to use their awards (Best in Show Double Gold, Gold, Silver, Bronze) in their marketing materials at no charge or licensing fee. Award Winners will be posted in multiple media outlets including a special media section of the September issue of Food & Beverage Magazine (2.25 Million unique hits monthly). Tasting Notes provide to each entry, regardless of winning a medal or not.
