2021 Texas Whiskey Festival Announces Its Winners
The Texas Whiskey Festival has announced the winners of the annual competition of the best Texas Whiskeys.
Each year the Texas Whiskey Festival hosts a competition to determine who has the best Texas Bourbon, Rye, and Malt Whiskey. With a panel of judges, they conduct the competition with a method known as blind judging. The brands and specific whiskeys they are tasting are unknown to the judges. “Our panel of judges smell and taste their way through each whiskey, rating the aroma, taste complexity, and finish,” said Co-Founder Jake Clements in a prepared statement.
