Bartender Spirits Awards

Bartender Spirits Awards is an initiative that seeks to recognize and promote excellence in the U.S. drinks industry. The event, scheduled for 2024 in Chicago, will be judged by eminent figures from the U.S. bar industry, ensuring independent and honest reviews for brands targeting the U.S. bar trade.

The judging process aims to identify spirits that should become additions to bar inventories, awarding Double Gold, Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals based on taste, packaging, and price. The goal is to isolate spirits that not only perform well in terms of mixability, versatility, and mouthfeel, but also boast attractive pricing and superior branding and packaging.

Medal winners will be featured in the Bartenders Spirits TOP 100 SPIRITS Guide, distributed to thousands of bartenders in the U.S. Additionally, this initiative will provide extensive promotional support including press releases, listings on the competition website, and social media updates for the winners.

Founded in 2017, Bartender Spirits Awards operates in the Food and Beverage as well as Retail industries.
