Judging – July 11-12, 2026

This double-blind competition uses a 100-point scale. It is the only professional contest where American and Canadian-made whiskeys can compete against Americas native spirit, Bourbon. Our judges consist of certified spirits professionals, sommeliers, and buyers.
Winners also receive handsome die-cast medals and are featured in a follow-up feature article in Wine Country International magazine and the “Best Bourbon and Whiskey” trade and consumer tasting.
