Having produced Indiana Vodka for a little over a year now, we decided it was time to see if we could win a little bling. With that in mind, last month we pulled a few bottles of Indiana Vodka off the bottling line and sent them to San Francisco for the prestigous World Spirits Competition.
Of course we think we make great vodka, but what would the experts say? Well, they loved IV enough to award us a Gold Medal on our first try! Now the experts agree, world class vodka is being made once again in Indiana.
The San Francisco World Spirits Competition is the most influential and respected spirits competition in the world. The 2010 Competition was the biggest in its history. Thirty judges gathered in downtown San Francisco on March 13 and 14 to reward spirits excellence by evaluating 1024 different spirits from 57 countries. These judging panels were comprised of spirits experts from noted restaurants and hotels, well-known spirits journalists from major national media, spirits buyers for large purveyors, and spirits consultants. Judging was based on a blind, consensual procedure, ensuring competitive integrity as it remains the most recognized competition in the spirits industry.
We've just been informed that Indiana Vodka has won a Gold Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This is the first time that we've entered any spirits competition. It is indeed an honor to win on our first attempt. We've always believed that we produce world class vodka, now the experts agree.
You pretty much have to be an idiot if you can't figure out how to make this drink on your own, but what the heck, check out this video on making vodka tonics:
