Berlin International Spirits Competition 2015 Winners Announced
The 2nd Annual Berlin International Spirits Competition (BISC) was held on March 1-2nd 2015. The competition was held at Kempinski Bristol in the heart of Berlin, Germany. Almost 200 spirits from around the world were judged by some of the top spirits buyers in Europe from over 6 different countries. Our trade buyer only judges included World Class Cocktail Winning Mixologists to Nick Fleming, Head Wine and Spirits Buyer for Harrods of London.
The BISC takes great pride in being the only international spirits competition in Europe where all the judges are real trade buyers judging the spirits by its category and actual price. It is the same philosophy that Adam Levy, the “Alcohol Professor” has followed since he founded the New York International Spirits Competition and later the Melbourne International Spirits Competition.
The 3rd Annual BISC will be held February 23rd 2016 in coordination with the 3rd Annual Berlin International Wine Competition at the Hotel Kempinski Bristol in Berlin.
