2012 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:45 pm

The Ultimate Spirits Challenge was held March 5-9 in New York City. “The purpose of Ultimate Spirits Challenge is to identify, recognize and reward those products which stand out in their respective categories, showing superior quality.”

Each entry is classified and appropriately grouped into blind tasting flights within each major spirits category. It is then rated on a 100 point scale by a panel of judges. Those scoring 90 points or more are evaluated again in newly-created groupings by a different panel of judges. The top scoring products in this tasting flight are reviewed once more to determine a select group of finalists. The highest scoring spirit in each category is awarded the Chairman’s Trophy.

We would like to extend our congratulations to the following spirits in the Lipman Brothers Portfolio that were awarded the Chairman’s Trophy in their respective categories:

Bols Barrel Aged Genever

José Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Extra Anejo Tequila

Milagro Select Barrel Reserve Silver Tequila

George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky

Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka

Cheers!
