IWSC TOP 50: Spirits


The IWSC Top 50 gives the IWSC seal of approval to producers who deliver consistent quality and excellence. The lists are compiled using IWSC results data drawn from a three-year period and consider the full range of entries, from Gold to no medal. To recognise the most recent successes, increased weighting is given to medals won in the current year. The IWSC Top 50: Spirits guides consumers to the producers consistently making exceptional spirits, playing a key role in the IWSC’s mission to shine a light on the world’s best drinks producers
