The connection between award-winning spirits and the bar community is what the London Spirits Competition works hard to foster, as Richard Siddle, editor of The Buyer explains.
Winning a medal at an international spirits competition is a key to get in front of important spirits buyers. 2021 London Spirits Competition is taking it to the next stage.
The world’s best spirits will once again be battling it out and vying for attention in the London Spirits Competition, which goes in to its fourth year on the back of record entries for the 2020 event, increased recognition around the world and a new consumer website, The London Drinks Guide, that has been launched by its organisers to help promote the brands, distillers and their importers who pick up medals and trophies in the event.
As the London Spirits Competition has grown it has also built up a strong community amongst both those who enter, take part in the judging and then go on to list the products that win awards.
Winners of previous and upcoming editions of the London Wine Competition will now have the award, score, and medal listed on their Wine-Searcher listing.
