2023 IZZY Awards - Nominations
Posted by Irish Whiskey USA on
The IWSA awards (IZZYs) are unlike other whiskey competitions in 2 important ways. The Izzys are a fan voting competition which do not require blind tasting panels. (Think People's Choice Awards). This is the event for all Irish Whiskey fans to have your voice heard and participate in choosing your favorites in some fun and unusual categories. In addition, the Izzys are our way of keeping with our mission of "Celebrating Irish Whiskey in the USA". As such, to be eligible for the Izzys, an Irish Whiskey must be sold in the USA!
Nominations were revealed during a LIVE Virtual event Friday December 8th. The top 5 nominees in the 14 total categories are highlighted below or watch the video. All US residents 21 years or older are eligible to vote. The 2023 IZZy Voting ballot can be found here. The 2023 Izzy celebration will culminate January 21st with another live event where we will announce and sample whiskeys from your favorites.
