The John Barleycorn Awards are judged by a panel of experts, including whiskey critics, authors, and scholars, who evaluate the spirits based on a blind tasting and a rigorous scoring system. The awards are announced twice a year, in spring and fall, and culminate in a “Best of 2023” round that pits the winners against each other.

After the online release, any remaining bottles will be available for in-person purchase beginning Saturday, Dec. 2 at 11 a.m. Bottles will be limited to four per person.
