Key Awards
Supreme Champion Spirit
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.
Spirits Portfolio of the Year
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.
Independent Bottler of the Year
Awarded to the best-performing independent bottler in the ISC, this award recognises companies that do not distil their own spirits but instead select, bottle, and sell products distilled by third parties under their own brands. Winners are determined by a weighted points system based on ISC medal performance.
