About the Key West Invitational Awards
The ABV Network's Key West Whiskey Awards are an invite-only event, started in 2023 in Key West, Florida, at the ABV Network's annual Distillers Summit. The brands participating have been vetted out by ABV Network owner Steve Akley. Steve selects the best-of-the-best in terms of craft distillers, and has their whiskeys judged via blind tasting by our judges. The judges are a combination of industry professionals and whiskey enthusiasts. A key criteria for participation is the distilleries must produce the whiskeys they enter in to the contest. While Steve Akley and the ABV Network support brands that are open about sourcing their products, this particular contest is reserved for the uniqueness of brands competing against one-another via products they have made.
