The John Barleycorn Society

*John Barleycorn, is for the average American the familiar personification of alcohol, i.e. whiskey. For half a century, this quest has been illuminated by poems, stories and texts written by the likes of Robert Burns, Jack London and Steve Winwood. Their protagonist, John Barleycorn, is a metaphor for outrage, suffering, death and rebirth in the cyclical nature of planting, growing, harvesting and distilling.

A group of spirits journalist founded The John Barleycorn Society, who sought to honour excellence in all facets of the industry. The journalists spent several years creating an all-encompassing competition that became the John Barleycorn Awards. They included John McCarthy (co-founder and judging director of the John Barleycorn Society); Leslie Sbrocco (one of the world’s most award-winning and renowned spirits journalists); Tony Sachs (Spirits and Cocktail Journalist and cocktail contest judge for several brands, including Jack Daniel’s, Stoli Elit and Chivas Regal), among others.

An elite team of influential and authoritative spirits journalists have been selected to administer the flagship component of the Awards, a double-blind, double-blind tasting competition designed to become the pre-eminent arbiter of the taste, quality and character of spirits.
