Competition Judges

A Panel of World-Class Spirits Experts

The Denver International Spirits Competition is conducted double-blind by a seasoned panel of beverage professionals. Our judging panel consists of sommeliers, retail buyers, journalists, mixologists, and beverage directors. All judges undergo a daily calibration class designed to maintain consistent evaluation and scoring of all spirits.

Transparency

Our competition rules strictly prohibit accepting judges who are affiliated in any way with companies that have entered products into our competition.

Our competition is expanding rapidly and we are currently seeking to add seasoned judges to our panel. To apply for consideration, please email your credentials and bio to Christopher J. Davies
