Since 2004, ADI’s mission has been to foster the growth and success of the craft spirits industry. Today, we’re excited to be launching a brand-new way to do that: Reviews.

It’s a difficult time for craft spirits producers. We’re constantly asking ourselves: How can we better support the industry? What can we do to encourage consumers to love craft spirits as much as we do?

Reviews are a platform to highlight and promote the many incredible spirits being made across the country and around the world by dedicated craft distillers and brands. They’re also a natural extension of the ADI International Spirits Competition and the industry journalism we publish at Distiller Magazine.

We’ll prioritize ADI member spirits for review, but anyone is welcome to submit. Get all the info here:

This is the science craft distillers need!

ResearchScan delivers a weekly digest of peer-reviewed academic literature that directly impacts distillers. It gives industry pros a direct line to the most important scientific findings.

Recent highlights include four articles that directly impact the craft spirits world:

🌟Initial Proof Matters More than Grain Angle for Evaporation Loss
🌟Chestnut Shells as Sustainable Wood-Aging Alternative
🌟AI-Guided Toasting Optimizes Barrel Flavor
🌟Yeast Contributes Flavor Before the Barrel

Dig into these findings and learn even more about the latest science behind distillation. Jan Hodel Keane takes a closer look in his recent story for Distiller Magazine. Read it here: https://distilling.com/distillermagazine/researchscan-what-the-lab-is-telling-craft-distillers-right-now/

The glass matters. The experience matters even more.

We want to thank our Title Sponsor, Glencairn, for the ISC Awards and Wee Glencairn glasses for the Welcome Tasting.

Through their support of the ISC Awards, Glencairn is helping us celebrate the producers, products, and people who continue to push the craft spirits industry forward.

The Wee Glencairn glasses bring the unmistakable Glencairn experience to the Welcome Tasting, giving attendees the perfect vessel to explore the aromas and character of the spirits being poured and a memorable takeaway from the evening.

Great spirits. Great glassware. Great people. That’s what makes ADI more than a conference; it’s where our industry comes together.

BREAKING: Talnua Distillery Named 2026 Distillery of the Year

Last week, ADI was thrilled to award our Bubble Cap award for Distillery of the Year — the highest honor of the annual conference’s Gala awards — to Talnua Distillery.

“As the first dedicated Irish-style pot still wh***ey distillery in the United States, Talnua has tirelessly championed this distinctive and delicious style. They truly exemplify the creative spirit, innovative approach, and dedication that make the craft spirits industry so special, and is why they deserve to be recognized on the world stage,” said ADI President Erik Owens.
