VOTING PROCESS
Bartender Spirits Awards will recognize, encourage, promote and celebrate excellence in the U.S. drinks industry.
EACH SPIRIT BRAND WILL BE SCORED BASED ON:
Mixability
Balance and Versatility
Taste, Mouthfeel, and Finish
Package
Price
STEP 1: BLIND TASTING
Blind tasting samples are presented by category based on their style and origin. Each spirit brand is reviewed on the basis of mixability; balance and versatility; taste, mouthfeel, and finish. Top bartenders within the industry review all blind tasting samples, ensuring that every entrant receives unbiased consideration by top influencers within the industry.
STEP 2: PRICE SCORE EVALUATION
The price score creates a strong reference tool for the bar industry and consumers. Following the blind tasting, judges are presented with the price of the spirit to analyze the price score. The objective is to understand how a particular spirit is priced vis-à-vis its peers. In today’s competitive marketplace, relative value is a very important consideration.
STEP 3: PACKAGING EVALUATION
In the final assessment for packaging, judges are asked to evaluate bottles by their creative design, back-bar appeal, and functionality (including shape, size, weight, and ease of pouring).
JUDGING PANEL
The judging panel of the Bartender Spirits Awards will consist entirely of top bartenders at U.S. restaurants, bars, pubs, and clubs. In order to be selected as a judge, bartenders need to provide evidence of their expertise within the on-premise industry. In some cases, these bartenders may also be cocktail consultants for on-premise establishments or play an important buying role for their on-premise establishments.
Results are now out for the 2024 Bartender Spirits Awards. Top 100 Spirits at the Bartender Spirits Awards will make the 2024 USA's Top 100 On-Premise spirits which will be marketed to restaurants and on-premise buyers of USA.
