MLSA™ Competition

How can your spirits brand stand out from the crowd?

Delicious taste? Clever design? An interesting story? All important, but it's quality products that really make a splash with customers.

And, there’s no better way to show you’ve got something special than recognition —a striking good looking medal on your bottle that says,

“We’re better than the rest—have a taste. You won’t be disappointed.”

We are the MLSA™ Competition, an industry-renowned spirits competition highlighting the best of distilled delights. Enrolling is simple, and once entered, your brands will have a chance of receiving one of the industry's most coveted awards, adding a tangible stamp of excellence to your product.

What makes the MLSA™ Distilled Spirits Competition different?

We Take Our Time

Judging takes place over months, not days, providing our panel with appropriate time between tastings and allowing them to revisit options.

Truly Unbiased

We have no affiliation with spirits organizations, we don't receive compensation of any kind to consult with brands/companies that might sway our decisions, meaning our spirits competition offers truly objective assessments.

Blind Tastings

All spirits are tasted blind, with no preconceptions about the brand. They are also sampled individually rather than in comparison to similar products.

Separate Design/Marketing Branding Competition Category

We understand that marketing is half the battle. That’s why we have a separate design category overseen by senior creatives and branding experts.
