ISW June Tasting 2023

Few things are as diverse and versatile as the world of spirits. What drives the industry is unbridled creativity, the search for the extraordinary and the pursuit of the highest quality.In this growing variety, however, it is becoming an ever greater challenge for customers to keep their bearings and find their way around.
This is where Meininger's International Spirits Award - ISW comes in. We have made it our task to provide distillers and producers with objective, neutral, expert and detailed feedback on their products, as well as to offer consumers reliable quality orientation for their purchasing decisions. 

In three large tastings, spread over January, April and June, your spirits are evaluated with a strong focus on the respective categories.
Through the theme-specific tastings, ISW permanently strengthens its media presence, offers intensive editorial support in the trade magazines of Meininger Verlag as well as wide-reaching online formats.

In June, the following categories will be tasted:

• Whisk(e)y 
• Rum
• Vodka
