2011 Ultimate Spirits Challenge Results

ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE 2011

March 1�4, 2011

ASTOR CENTER, NEW YORK CITY

The purpose of Ultimate Spirits Challenge is to identify, recognize and reward those products which stand out in their

respective categories, showing superior quality. Multiple panels of the highest-qualified experts blind-tasted each entry by

classification in appropriately grouped flights within each major spirits category, scoring each on the 100-point scale.

Products that scored 90 points or higher were then evaluated blind once again, in newly-created groupings by a different

panel of judges. Top scoring products were then reviewed again to determine a select group of finalists with the category�s

highest-scorer being awarded a Chairman�s Trophy accolade.

For 2011 there are 27 Chairman�s Trophies awarded, representing the best of the best; Finalists in each section are also

identified.

In addition to the score, products are distinguished with the following Accolades, as a guide to consumers:

95-100 Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation

90-94 Excellent, Highly Recommended

85-89 Very Good, Strong Recommendation

80-84 Good, Recommended

commendation and consumer worthiness.
