DistiSuisse - national award
Every two years, the Swiss distilling industry meets for DistiSuisse, the national award for the best spirits produced in Switzerland. "Those who succeed at DistiSuisse are undoubtedly among the best distillers," DistiSuisse is quoted as saying. Only outstanding products receive awards. This is guaranteed by a professional 27-member jury headed by Agroscope. In a tasting marathon lasting three days, the jury evaluated the spirits according to appearance, aroma, taste and overall impression. In addition, all samples were analytically examined, which is only the case for this award.
