he San Francisco World Spirits Competition is the first comprehensive, international spirits judging ever held in the United States on an annual basis. Celebrating its 15th year of awarding spirits excellence, the 2015 Competition was held in downtown San Francisco in March.

In 2015, distillers and importers submitted 1,580 spirits from 66 countries. Diageo spirits liquids and packaging were recognized across the board as best-in-class at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, winning a grand total of 91 awards. In both Scotch and North American Whisk(e)y liquids, Diageo brands did especially well, with 14 brands winning multiple medals, and several being named “Best” in their category.

During the days of prohibition (1919-1933) Canadian Whiskey boomed in the United States. As whiskey that had been legally distilled north of the border made its way to millions of thirsty Americans hiding out in speakeasies across the country. Bartenders looking for quality spirits quickly became fond of the dynamically rich taste of Canadian Whiskey and enthusiastically adopted it for their whiskey cocktails like the Manhattan & Old Fashioned.

In 1867, German immigrant Isaac Wolfe (I.W.) Bernheim arrived in America with four dollars in his pocket and dreams of a better life. Within 12 short years, he had founded his own distillery and created the original prized and premium bourbon that brought Kentucky bourbon out of the backwoods. One of the few bourbons granted permission to legally produce throughout prohibition, I.W. Harper’s reputation for quality goes straight to the top. Welcomed with pleasure wherever it went, I.W. Harper also traveled the world to become the first bourbon enjoyed in 110 countries. After 20 years, I.W. Harper now returns home, and with stories to tell, so grab some rocks and a glass, this one’s going to be good.

THE STORY
George always held Scotch as the finest example of whisky and so when he first began distilling his, he spelled his without the ‘e’ because he felt it was just as fine a sipping whisky as anything out of Scotland. George discovered whisky made in winter was smoother than that made in the summer and so the brand is always chilled before it is charcoal filtered. The charcoal filtering (called the Lincoln county process) is what defines “Tennessee” as a style of whisky, it is the chilling that sets George Dickel apart from the other guys.
