2025 Craft Distillers Spirit Competition
Are you a craft spirit maker in a sea of other distillers? A niche vodka producer in a crowded
market? A new tequila brand seeking to build a loyal customer base?
It's time to gain visibility, and one of the most effective ways to do so is through organized
judging. Winning can significantly boost your exposure, and multiple awards will truly
distinguish your craft beverage from the competition. High ratings influence purchasing
decisions in your market.
Don’t miss out on the Craft Distiller’s Spirits Competition, now in its eighth year. We actively
promote our competition and its results through various media outlets, including Wine Industry
Network and Wine Business, as well as other online publications. Social media is one of the
most powerful tools for gaining PR!
Participants receive beautiful physical medals for Gold and above, along with digital assets
(medals for all levels, a customizable press release, and a frameable Distillers Certificate of
Achievement). You are also welcome to use our logo without any licensing fees, ever.
Explore our categories, and if you don’t see a fitting option for your product, please send us an
email. We are constantly expanding our platform to better serve our entrants and are eager to
make it work for you.
