2016 San Francisco Spirits Competition

It’s almost time for the 2016 SF Spirits Competition held at the hotel Nikko. This March, hundreds of vendors will submit their libations for consideration. The 2015 Best in Show for Best Straight Bourbon went to one of my favorites – Blade & Bow Deluxe and I suspect more Stitzer-Weller entries will be included again. 

Last year’s competition saw 66 countries participating across 90 classifications and this year will also see an equally packed and varied field. My hope is to see the unveiling of new releases which often happens at this competition before widespread availability. For more information visit www.sfspiritscomp.com
