“I rise today to recognize Nic Wallace, whose talent and creativity have earned him national recognition as the 2025 World Class U.S. Bartender of the Year. Mr. Wallace, the bars and spirits manager at the Sea Island Resort, received the highest honor in American mixology, awarded through a rigorous competition that tests the Nation's top bartenders on skill, storytelling, and hospitality. Among 30 national finalists, Mr. Wallace emerged as the champion after a series of challenges, including speed rounds, signature cocktail pairings, and original recipe presentations. As Georgia's sole finalist, he embraced that responsibility with pride and excelled in all aspects. For more than a decade, Nic has pursued this title with determination and focus. As he himself said: "No matter how much you want something, no matter how long it takes, you can get it." Nic will now represent the United States in the global finals in Toronto later this year. I congratulate Nic on this achievement.”
