Global Judging - Spirits

Global Judging

The IWSC is the only international drinks competition to host judging events across the world.

As part of the Global Judging, we invite established judges in the chosen country, to taste and award spirits submitted from local distillers. It’s an opportunity to also create an experience and turn our experts into ambassadors of the chosen spirit category via a series of activities to showcase the drinks scene, the people, places and spirits.

Since 2024, in addition to the IWSC's annual Spirits Judging in London, we have been running Global Spirits Judging events around the world. Last year we took our team of international spirits experts to South Africa and Kentucky.

You can find our 2025 Global Judging locations, as well as discover further information on where to send your entries below. Good luck!
