'Quotations: David Wrigley, Master of Wine, Chair of the Competition's Technical and Judging Committee, and Director of the WSET.
A gold medal is a serious award, which essentially describes a world-class product.
" There are some product categories that do not really lend themselves to this accolade: basic neutral table wines for example. In other words, ' there is a judging context of global quality in the back of judges' minds.'"

Note: The I.W.S.C. 2003 Competition's only Irish spirit to win a GOLD MEDAL was Knockeen Hills, for its Farmers Strength Triple-Distilled 60% Abv. For a complete list of all Irish Spirit Winners in 2003 click (here).
