Why Enter?
TAG offers global credibility, with judging led by elite bartenders, distillers, and spirits educators who blind-taste each product with precision.
A TAG medal carries weight—it’s not just a trophy, but a mark of excellence that enhances visibility, builds buyer confidence, and opens doors. Perhaps most valuable of all, entrants receive meaningful feedback on how their spirits perform not only on their own but in cocktails, where versatility truly matters.
In previous years, the TAG Global Spirits Awards has honored exceptional bottles across a wide spectrum—from bourbon and rye to tequila, rum, gin, and other standout spirits.
The competition continues to highlight both established names and rising craft producers. You can explore the full list of medalists from last year by visiting the 2024 TAG Awards Results
