Organizers for the High Spirits Awards have announced the winners of the 2024 competition.
Launched last year by the L.A. Spirits Awards, the High Spirits Awards is a competition for cannabis-derived beverage products legally sold in California and hemp-derived CBD/alternative cannabinoid beverages from anywhere in the U.S.
Conducted in March, entries were tasted in flights organized by category. All products were judged on their own merits, with flavor being the primary judging criterion. Top medal winners competed in a final tasting round judged by both High Spirits Awards judges and select L.A. Spirits Awards judges to determine Best in Show winners in individual beverage categories.
The panel of judges was led by Rachel Burkons, a cannabis consultant, content creator, writer and educator.
