Entries from around the world were judged at this premiere competition held in Rochester, New York. More than 300 entries were evaluated by a panel of experts including Masters Distillers, Certified Spirits Educators, Brand Ambassadors, retailers, importers and spirits industry writers and consultants.
“Not everyone who enters the competition earns a medal, so knowing our bourbon has only been out of the barrel a few months now and already winning awards, gives us great assurance we’re doing it right,” said owner Sara Winkleman.
Sir Winston 93 Proof Bourbon is made with our own Iowa-grown corn and has a balance of gentle vanilla, fresh oak, and classic caramel notes.
The Great American International Spirits Competition is organized and conducted by the Raise A Glass Foundation, created to support charities around the world. Their international wine, beer and spirit competitions donate thousands of bottles of award-winning wine, beer and spirits to designated charities to use in their fundraising efforts.
