IWSC Emerging Talent Award winners announced

We’re delighted to be able to share the winners of the IWSC emerging talent awards we’re proud to sponsor.

A huge congratulations to our two winners, Matias Luciani, winner of Emerging Talent in Spirits, and Kate Malczewski, winner of Emerging Talent in Spirits Communication.

The shortlists of exceptional candidates across both the Spirits and Spirit Communication categories are a testament to the bright future of the Spirits industry. Our two winners stood out to the judges for their outstanding commitment to their crafts.

Matias is the founder of his own club, Rosario Whisky Club, sharing his knowledge and hosting tasting events to broaden understanding within Argentina’s closed spirits economy. Read more about Matias here.

Kate is an editor for Bar Chick, a guide to the best bars in the world, and a freelance writer whom the judges noted for her great tone of voice and ability to make spirits accessible. Read more about Kate here.

It’s clear both winners have bright futures ahead of them in the spirits industry, and we look forward to hosting them at our Jura 60th Anniversary celebrations later this year.

Congratulations Matias and Kate!
