The 2024 Global Whisky Challenge

Wine Country Network, Inc., publishers of Wine Country International® Magazine and a global leader in producing professional beverage competitions, has announced that the company is launching the Global Whisky Challenge, the world’s first traveling whisky competition to be held in three countries.

The Global Whisky Challenge will define excellence in whiskies worldwide. The world’s first traveling whisky competition will occur in Scotland, Japan, and the US. A seasoned team of US and International spirits judges will taste whiskies double-blind, scoring products based on 100 points using a proprietary rating system. The competition exclusively uses the NEAT ™ professional spirits evaluation glass.

Judges will taste top-scored products and select one “Best of Show” 1st place per winner at each competition. Our senior judges will taste the “Best of Show-1st place” winners in New York and choose the highest-scored product, the 2024 Global Whisky Champion.
