The Bartender Spirits Awards are a platform for underrated spirits to grab the spotlight. The awards go out of their way to help great spirits be discovered by getting their spirits brands tasted and reviewed by an illustrious judges panel. This panel comprises leading Bartenders, Beverage Directors, and on-premise restaurant buyers in the USA. Winners from the Bartender Spirits Awards are celebrated and loved even beyond the US on-premise industry.  “We really wanted a way to recognize those spirits that would be a great addition to any bar and that are completely on-trend in terms of packaging and price,” said Sid Patel, Founder, and CEO of Beverage Trade Network.
