Heartland Whiskey Competition
ACSA partners with related groups to continue to elevate and advocate for the community of craft spirits producers. Every other year, the Corn Growers Association partners with ACSA to host the Heartland Whiskey Competition to recognize the best craft corn-based whiskeys across America.
Heartland Whiskey Competition
The American Craft Spirits Association, in cooperation with the Illinois Corn Marketing Board, sanctioned the Heartland Whiskey Competition to honor a grain that is all important to our industry: CORN!
Since the Heartland Whiskey Competition’s launch in 2017, the number of sponsoring corn-supported states has more than doubled from 10 to 21. However, the contest is open to ALL whiskey entries in all 50 states, as long as the mash includes corn in their grain bills.
