2011 Ultimate Spirits Challenge Results
ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE 2011
March 1�4, 2011
ASTOR CENTER, NEW YORK CITY
The purpose of Ultimate Spirits Challenge is to identify, recognize and reward those products which stand out in their
respective categories, showing superior quality. Multiple panels of the highest-qualified experts blind-tasted each entry by
classification in appropriately grouped flights within each major spirits category, scoring each on the 100-point scale.
Products that scored 90 points or higher were then evaluated blind once again, in newly-created groupings by a different
panel of judges. Top scoring products were then reviewed again to determine a select group of finalists with the category�s
highest-scorer being awarded a Chairman�s Trophy accolade.
For 2011 there are 27 Chairman�s Trophies awarded, representing the best of the best; Finalists in each section are also
identified.
In addition to the score, products are distinguished with the following Accolades, as a guide to consumers:
95-100 Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation
90-94 Excellent, Highly Recommended
85-89 Very Good, Strong Recommendation
80-84 Good, Recommended
A note on the icons:

Chairman, F. Paul Pacult and Assistant Judging Chairman, Sean Ludford based upon their and the judges'

site, where you can place your order for delivery. Click icon to view.

helpful portrayal of the brand.) Click icon to view.
Video: an insightful video review from F. Paul Pacult for each Ultimate Spirits Challenge Chairman's Trophy

commendation and consumer worthiness.
