News Flash! 2026 Denver International Spirits Competition Top Winners Featured on TheWhiskeyWash.com!
Our top winners received a fantastic review on TheWhiskeyWash.com on Monday!
TheWhiskeyWash.com is the world's most popular whisk[e]y website!

“This year’s DISC whiskey podium covers a lot of ground. A Colorado single malt with deep roots in the local craft beer scene, a Tennessee whiskey built around one of the most compelling origin stories in American spirits, a sourced single-barrel bourbon from a distillery still in its infancy, and a Bardstown veteran that has been collecting major awards for the better part of a decade.
It is also worth noting how the scoring worked out. The two Best of Show 1st Place winners and the Best of Show 2nd Place winner scored 96 and 95 points, respectively, while the Platinum winner claimed 98 points.”

Final thoughts:
We are humbled to be noticed and recognized by the editors of the world’s most viewed whiskey website. This level of PR exposure is massive yet unbiased. Consumers can read articles on whisk[e]ywash.com for free with no subscription required.

In contrast, the SFWSC has one of its judges planted as a contributor to Forbes.com. Having results listed on Forbes.com is impressive. However, a $49.95 online subscription is required.
Please share the links to this article with your peeps and on social media.
If possible, please like the article and leave a comment.

Cheers!
