The process of evaluating spirits is a firmly structured, rigorous procedure.
We use the “blind tasting” method, which means that the samples are tasted in pre-poured, numbered glasses to ensure that no one from the team of international judges ever sees the bottle.
“Blind tasting” is a common practice in the world of wine and spirits tasting, which implies that tasters are not familiar with the brand of the spirit they are tasting, its type, or its production process.
Judges impartially assess the quality of the spirit based on its color, clarity, aromas, and taste. Most global spirit evaluations and qualifications include blind tasting, and this method is practiced in competitions to maintain the impartiality of judgments and ratings.
