Asian spirits under the spotlight in SB tasting

Producers of high-quality Asian spirits could receive international acclaim if they enter The Spirits Business’s upcoming Asian Spirits Masters.

The Asian Spirits Masters will shine a light on spirits made in Asia, and Asian-style spirits

Judged by an independent panel of experts, the blind-tasting competition will reward impressive entrants with Master, Gold and Silver medals.

Spirits makers across the continent of Asia are invited to enter, in addition to distillers of traditional styles of Asian spirits in other parts of the world.

The categories of the competition include: Baijiu, Shochu, Soju, Indian Whisky, Japanese Whisky, Other Asian Whisky, Vodka Made In Asia, Gin Made In Asia, Rum Made In Asia, Brandy Made In Asia, Liqueurs Made In Asia, and Speciality Spirits Made In Asia.

As international consumers become increasingly interested in Asian beverages and cuisine, the competition gives distillers the opportunity to showcase their products at an international level.

Results will be published in The Spirits Business’s May edition, which is distributed internationally, as well as online at www.thespiritsbusiness.com.

“Our Asian Spirits Masters will give a team of experienced judges the chance to assess and reward spirits produced in Asia, shining a light on both ancient styles of spirits and newer disruptor categories,” said Amy Hopkins, editor of The Spirits Business.

“Asian distillers have a reputation for both precision and innovation – our Asian Spirits Masters will be able to put this belief to the test.”

Deadline for entry to The Asian Spirits Masters is 9 April. Bottles must be sent to The Spirits Business team for judging by 11 April.
