  • GOLD: Shibui Pure Malt 10-Year-Old Whisky, Japan [43%] $139.
  • SILVER: Shibui Grain Select Whisky, Japan [43%] $49.

As an entrant in the new Japanese Whisky category, Shibui stood out among 3,800 contenders in blind tastings at the largest spirits competition in the U.S.

"We are delighted that Shibui whiskies were recognized in our first competition to date," said Nicholas Pollacchi, Shibui Co-Owner and Head of Global Whisky. "We truly believe this reflects the partnerships we have cultivated in Japan, the amazing craftsmanship found within our distilleries and the expertise of our Shibui Master Blending Teams in Japan. We are raising the bar so our consumers can raise a glass of award-winning whisky!"
