ISW January tasting: the results
The 21st year of the Meininger’s International Spirits Award began with the big January tasting, which almost traditionally focuses on wine based spirits and grape marc brandies, fruit brandies and spirits, as well as liqueurs of all kinds. A total of 543 spirits were blind tasted and evaluated by the expert jury, 163 of which were awarded a medal – 6x Grand Gold, 136x Gold and 21x Silver.
In addition, 17 special awards were presented to the best products in their category.
