Top scoring brands are awarded Chairman’s Trophies and finalist status in all categories, including brandy, whiskey, tequila, gin, vodka, rum, liqueurs, vermouth, soju, baijiu, ready-to-drink, bitters, amaro, etcetera.

This is also a cocktail component. Suitable products — such as gins, unflavored vodkas, tequilas, most rums, etc., in addition to being tasted straight —  are also evaluated in a category-relevant cocktail.

For products lacking an imported, USC will provide the necessary documentation for U.S. Customs.
