The North American Bourbon & Whiskey Competition takes a different approach from most international spirits awards. Rather than separating entries by country, it brings together bourbons and whiskeys from across North America, giving American, Canadian, Mexican, and South American producers the chance to compete side by side. That makes it one of the few competitions where bourbon goes head-to-head with the wider world of North American whiskey. The 2026 competition was judged by a panel of spirits professionals using a double-blind tasting process and a 100-point scoring system. To make the results easier to browse, we’ve compiled every whiskey, bourbon, and moonshine winner from the 2026 North American Bourbon & Whiskey Competition into the table below, ordered by score so you can quickly see which bottles impressed the judges most.
