Kết quả chính thức của cuộc thi rượu whisky quốc tế 2020, International Whisky Competition (IWC). Đây là sự kiện mà rất nhiều người yêu rượu theo dõi nhiều nhất. Là năm liên tiếp thứ 11 của sự kiện này. Nhưng sự kiện IWC 2020 thay vì tổ chức như thường lệ tại Las Vegas, Nevada thì sự kiện được tổ chức vào 30/06/2020 tại thị trấn miền núi xinh đẹp Estes Park, Colorado, do ảnh hưởng đại dịch Covid-19.
