We’re thrilled to announce year two of the Sunset Magazine International Spirits Competition. Combined with our international wine competition, which dates back to 2012, the Sunset Wine and Drinks platform is fast becoming one of the most influential platforms for readers across the country seeking advice on what to drink, and how to drink it with style.

“Our coverage of the category has truly resonated with readers—and this year, spirits have never been more relevant. From launching our “Sunset Sips” Instagram series to covering the innovations in distilling and mixology taking place in the West, we’re thrilled to be a part of this conversation. We can’t wait for this year’s results,” said Editor-in-Chief Matt Bean.
