● The Agavos Awards Tasting Panel

Judges are selected based on their knowledge and familiarity with agave spirits. They need to appreciate and fairly rate all styles of these products, according to aroma, flavor, and finish.

Entries are blind-tested and graded on a 100-point scale based on a series of criteria relating to appearance, aroma, taste, and finish. Top scores in each class will advance to a championship round where they will be retasted to determine winners.

Grover and Scarlet participate in judging but awards are determined by a scoring system involving all of the judges.
