Judges

World-class expertise meets Miami flavor.

At the Miami Spirits Competition, we believe the people evaluating your spirits should be as thoughtful and dynamic as the brands they’re tasting.

That’s why our judging panel brings together an exciting mix of talent — from award-winning bartenders and cocktail program directors to acclaimed spirits writers, educators, and industry buyers. Our judges reflect not only technical skill and palate precision, but also the multicultural pulse of Miami itself.

Who Are the Judges?

To ensure a fair, unbiased evaluation process, the identities of our judges will be revealed after the competition concludes. This protects the integrity of blind tasting and prevents any real or perceived conflicts of interest.

Rest assured, each spirit is evaluated by multiple experienced professionals, and no judge tastes entries from a brand they’re affiliated with. Integrity is non-negotiable — and excellence is the standard.

We’re Always Looking for Great Palates

If you’re an experienced industry professional and want to be considered for a future judging panel, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re a spirits educator, distributor, respected mixologist, or cocktail media voice, your insight may be a perfect fit.

Jueces

Expertos de talla mundial con el sabor de Miami.

En la Miami Spirits Competition, creemos que quienes evalúan tus productos deben ser tan apasionados y profesionales como las marcas que catan.

Por eso reunimos un panel diverso que incluye desde bartenders galardonados y directores de bares de coctelería hasta escritores especializados, educadores y compradores del sector. Nuestros jueces representan tanto la excelencia técnica como el espíritu multicultural de Miami.

¿Quiénes son los jueces?

Para garantizar un proceso justo e imparcial, la identidad de nuestros jueces se dará a conocer después de la competencia. Esta medida protege la integridad de la cata a ciegas y evita cualquier conflicto de interés, real o percibido.

Cada destilado es evaluado por múltiples profesionales experimentados, y ningún juez prueba productos de marcas con las que tenga alguna relación. La integridad es nuestra base; la excelencia, nuestro estándar.

Siempre buscamos grandes paladares
