USA Spirits Ratings

These 5 Indian Whiskies Scored Highest At The USA Spirits Ratings 2026

13/10/2026

The USA Spirits Ratings is a little different from many spirits competitions. Rather than having critics taste the whiskies, the judges at the USA Spirits Ratings are trade buyers, the people who decide which bottles end up on store shelves and restaurant back bars. Alongside quality (50%), they also score every entry on value for money (25%) and how it looks on the shelf (25%). So, it is worth sitting up and paying attention to what they have to say.
