IDS is a unique drinks industry feedback, evaluation and awards entry consultancy. Our product evaluation gives: confidential, honest, accurate and constructive feedback from leading global drinks judges and experts; consumer-friendly tasting notes; and a score which indicates potential results at competitions.

Our score badge is also a good reflection of the product’s quality to buyers and consumers, and is increasingly used by our clients alongside medals and awards. In addition we provide advice on awards and competitions entry strategies.

We’ve helped many small and medium sized distillers and brand owners: from those starting at the R&D stage, through to those with high quality, well-established products. IDS has a solid track record of assisting producers: we’ve helped clients turn already-good products into some of the best in the world, and winners of top medals/awards at respected international events.
