LIQUOR RANK
THE ONLY AWARD YOU NEED TODAY!
WHY IT COUNTS
As the 21st Century award for quality and credibility LIQUOR RANK exists to provide the definitive last word on spirits and beverage evaluation and provide you limitless opportunities to market your brand.
Each product is reviewed under ideal tasting conditions by a panel of experts who know what they, and ultimately consumers, are looking for. Each product submitted is evaluated and ranked in blind tastings ensuring your rank is bias free.
Trade buyers and consumers will recognize and respond to the value of LIQUOR RANK's accolades and scores, setting itself apart from over saturated liquor competitions that will hand over a medal to almost anyone who enters LIQUOR RANK is different; it's the last word on quality. A favorable LIQUOR RANK is easily and immediately recognized as a symbol of achievement as it was earned via the ultimate definition of balanced spirits evaluation. Your brand truly earns its score, it doesn't just get awarded a medal for showing up.
TAKE A NUMBER
Numbers are useful. They help us count; our money, our time, and just where we stand in the world. In the world of selling more liquor it is your LIQUOR RANK that counts. You put your heart and soul into this spirit, now it's time to tell everyone just how good it is. Your LIQUOR RANK is based on your product and your product alone. Not how you stack up against the next guy, not what another category is doing in terms of increasing their sales and market penetration, but, quite simply your LIQUOR RANK reflects the positive qualities your liquid brings to the glass.
LIQUOR RANK is the defining number that, at a glance, lets buyers and consumers know just what to expect when they pick up your bottle.
Like well respected wine industry ratings systems LIQUOR RANK is based on a 20 point scale, set from 80-100. Your product is judged on its merits; taste, texture, color, aroma, mixability, and price. All of these factors are considered by our panel of experts.
Who are our experts? Well, they are some of the most respected buyers at locally and nationally renowned retailers, restaurants and bars around the country. Their credible expertise in spirits means your product is being judged by people who taste EVERYTHING; and they know what sells.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED
Unlike other "competitions" that hand out medals to mediocre products by default, you'll never see a "double gold,” “Triple Platinum,” “Diamond” or “Consumer Choice” from us. Liquor Rank puts an end to over saturated, meaningless awards.
LIQUOR RANK MARKETING MATTERS
With all of the built in marketing channels available to us, from access to distributors, retailers and consumers via our network of publications and trade show and festival sponsorships we are uniquely poised to be your marketing partner. Unlike other competitions, we don't just give you a sticker to put on the bottle and send you on your way. Or charge you more money for the privilege of obtaining the sticker or promoting your brand and its score. No; that is not our way.
You submit the brand to have it evaluated through our ranking system of 80-100 points. After careful consideration we'll provide you with the ranking that you can use in the marketing. Rankings will be announced quarterly and shared nationwide, via print and dedicated emails, with distributors and retailers such as Southern Wine & Spirits, Glazers, Wirtz, Empire, Martin Scott, Bevmo, Total Wines and more. A brand scoring a 92 and higher will be included in an elite round up of must-try-now spirits.
