10. Buyers and Sommeliers will see your package giving you great exposure

High profile buyers will take a look at your packaging too. The judging process consists of 3 phases:

• Blind Tasting

Each spirits entry will be blind tasted to assess the spirits' quality. The quality score will be marked out of 50. It will be a weighted average of the judges scores on the basis of quality, typicity, and food parability.

• Price Score Review

The judges will give a value score out of 25 based on their assessment of how much the spirits should be priced as, when compared to the quality. It's not necessary for a spirits brand to be very cheap to recieve a good price score. This score basically judges how much value your spirits brand provides to the customers for the value charged.

• Packaging Review

The judges will see the packaging and give a score out of 25 based on how appealing it would be for the average spirits buyer based on their industry knowledge. The parameters they would be evaluating on would include factors like appeal, clarity, uniqueness, and so on.
