About the Las Vegas Global Spirits Awards

The Las Vegas Global Spirits Awards is regarded as one of the leading international spirits awards. The Las Vegas approach is dedicated solely to blind tastings, rather than subjective scoring, as with some competitions. The spirits entered are judged by a panel of distillers, buyers, educators, bartenders, and other industry professionals, who will grade each product on a scale of 100 factors, including appearance, aroma, palate, balance, and finish. 

Winning here is not just a bragging right; it is a validation of the quality, consistency, and skill that go into making a spirit.
