The SIP Awards are the only internationally recognized consumer judging spirits competition. The Double Gold medal corresponds to an outstanding rank of spirits which consumers judged to qualify for the top percentile of their given categories and justify strong recommendations.

The distinguished PR%F Awards Tasting and Design Distinction competition competitions are powered by Food and Beverage Magazine ( 14 million + readers monthly), Delta Sky Club and Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. Our competition is unique in that every single judge is a buyer.
