About us
Launched in 2007, the World Drinks Awards are the global awards selecting the very best in all internationally recognised styles of drinks, through blind tasting with our expert panel of judges. With over 35 categories including Whisky, Gin, Vodka, Tequila, Sparkling Wine, Beer, No & Lo, and tasting held globally across the UK, Germany, Brazil, Chile, Japan, Canada and USA, we are always looking for the next best product to crown ‘Worlds Best’ within each category. Our Icons Awards also enable you to nominate the stars of your industry and are a celebration of the years of hard work that go into every bottle. From the distillers themselves and brand ambassadors, to visitor centres – a great deal of craftsmanship, skill and knowledge are imparted at each stage of the process. Entrants into our whisky and gin competitions, will be invited to attend our Awards ceremonies to celebrate in person both category winners and the ‘Worlds Best’. For more information, head on over to our website or contact our Awards Team: [email protected] | ( 44) 1603 633 808
