Our judges are spirit enthusiasts from all walks of life. We make it a priority to gather a broad sample of the general public to ensure diverse representation.
The judges evaluate spirits on three criteria: aroma, taste, and finish based on a scale of 1-5 where one is unsatisfactory, and five is exceptional. Our proprietary algorithm determines medal placement based on the number of entrants in a category, the number of judges evaluating in that category, and score trends. Not every brand that enters receives an award-winning even a bronze SIP Awards medal is an accomplishment!
