The 3rd Annual MISC Took Place on July 3rd, 2016 in Melbourne

The MISC was held last month at the RACV City Club in the center of Melbourne. This year’s well-rounded judging panel included buyers from top retail stores, as well as other beverage buyers from around the Asia Pacific region, such as sommeliers, distributors, and importers. All of the judges share excitement in the high quality of well-known spirits submitted, and were also impressed by the large number of new spirits looking to break into the Asia Pacific Market. Our 4th Annual MISC will be held in June of 2017.
