SPIRITS COMPETITIONS THAT INCLUDE ASMW CATEGORIES
The following list of whiskey competitions is ordered by date-of-entry deadline. Note that the base per-entry costs range from a high of $550 down to $200, so some of the discounts offered to ASMWC members should be considered in that light. Also, a couple of these offer multiple ASMW categories so be mindful of that during the entry process.
