Few spirits competitions hold more clout in the U.S. than the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The competition is run by the Tasting Alliance, and each year thousands of spirits brands vie for the highly-coveted Double Gold designation. Once a spirits brand achieves this designation, it has the reputation of being properly vetted by the industry. Double Gold winners often get a boost in the marketplace, and some secure distribution deals with major spirits companies.
According to Forbes, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition is considered the biggest whiskey competition in the world for both large and small brands. Bigger brands can submit their premium expressions for review, and smaller and more up-and-coming brands often enter to get that initial boost of credibility.
We’ve gone ahead and curated a list of every single bourbon that won a Double Gold at this year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The list includes offerings from well-respected bourbons and indie distilleries.
