CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPIRITS CHALLENGE
2025 sees the International Spirits Challenge reach its 30th anniversary, a milestone that we are wholeheartedly proud of. As the longest running dedicated spirits competition in the world, our legacy is built on reputation, trust, respect, and 30 years of experience.
Our challenge is established through a precise and independent judging process, which serves to encourage the high calibre of spirits, designs and campaigns entered into the competition each year. Receiving thousands of entries from over 70 countries worldwide makes the ISC a truly global competition. It is supported by many of the world's leading spirits producers as the international standard for quality and excellence. Winning an ISC award is indeed an impressive achievement for any spirit that passes the scrupulous blind assessment from our experienced panel of specialist judges.
Join us for our 30th celebrations as we mark the occasion with a calendar of activations, including celebratory awards, exclusive interviews, events and much more. We look forward to welcoming you to the ISC 2025.
