American Craft Spirits Association - 2017 Awards Banquet

Congratulations to all the distillers who entered the 2017 American Craft Spirits Association’s (ACSA) competition to determine the best of the best in craft spirits. There were more than 550 entrants across all categories. Probably the biggest surprise of the year was that there wasn’t a single entry in the rum category that the judges felt was worthy of a Gold Medal. That’s quite a shift from last year when a Rum landed the 2016 Best of Show award.

Here is the complete list of craft spirits winners in each of the six category including Whiskey, Gin, Rum, Vodka & Grain Spirits, Brandy and Specialty Spirits, in an easy to use, sortable list.
