World Spirits Competition Picks Best Tequilas, Mezcal, and Agave Spirits for 2021

The SFWSC identifies the Best in Show, the highest accolade it bestows, for Best White Spirit, Best Whisky, Best Brandy and Best Liqueur. It also awards Best in Category awards across 79 different classes of spirits. Key spirit categories, like whisky or brandy, include numerous subcategories.

In the case of agave-based spirits, the SFWSC has seven different subcategories. Four of those categories cover Tequila. One category covers mezcal. A second category covers regional agave spirits like Sotol or Bacanora, and the remaining category is a catch all for any other agave-based spirits.
