2010 Ultimate Spirits Challenge Results

Ultimate Spirits Challenge

March 1–3, 2010

Astor Center, New York City

A note on Ultimate Spirits Challenge scoring results: Ultimate Beverage Challenge has rounded off the final scores of every entry to the higher numeral when the aggregate score included decimals. For instance, an aggregate score of 94.675 became 95 and so on. Therefore, in categories where there were many entries, such as Vodka, Liqueurs, Scotch Whisky, there may be several entries with the same final score. The four highest scoring spirits following Stage Two scoring from each category went on to the Semifinal Stage, where the final score, as deemed by the judges, rendered the numerical winner. The highest scoring entry won the USC Chairman's Trophy.

In addition to the score, spirits 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
