STEP 2

Download and review our 2021 Class Codes, selecting the most appropriate class to enter each of your products. Our class codes represent the general categories in which products are judged. During the actual competition, where applicable, classes are narrowed down further into sub-classes to allow products to be judged within a peer group of similar spirits.

Please note that no product can be entered in multiple classes in any given year.
