For this award, each judging panel put forward their top performing spirits to be re-tasted blind by the category chairs. The Supreme Champion Spirit is then awarded to the highest scoring trophy winner of the competition.

Awarded to a producer, distributor, or brand owner, this award recognises exceptional quality and consistency across a broad and diverse spirits portfolio. The winner is determined by both Trophy and overall medal performance across all spirits categories in the Challenge.

For this award, our judging panel vote for the overall best executed design from all the Design & Packaging Award entries into the competition.

Awarded to the best performing independent bottler in the Challenge. Results are determined by a weighted points system based on medal performance, assessing the overall success of all eligible independent bottler entries across the entire competition.
