The first Asia-based awardS that honour the art and craft in the world of artisanal spirits
SOCraft is an independent awards body that spotlights those pushing the frontiers of the global craft spirits industry. It is also the first awards body that includes “sustainability footprint” as a core judging criterion.
Through a well-regarded panel of experts and enthusiasts from Asia's vibrant bar community, the awards serve as an Asian-centric lens, providing craft spirit makers with an immediate gateway to the region’s thriving bar industry.
