Congratulations to all the distillers who entered the 2017 American Distilling Institute’s (ADI) competition. This year’s event took place at the Baltimore Convention Center in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. The competition included craft spirits makers both in the U.S. and from around the world. Spirits are tasted blind and evaluated by a panel of judges made up of distillers, journalists, bar owners, bartenders, retailers, wholesalers, distributors and importers.
