Carpathian Single Malt’s Post

"Competition medals don't mean anything; everyone has medals." That's a common sentiment we often hear. Most of the time, it's true. Many competitions give distinctions to whoever pays, with judging criteria that don't solely focus on taste. However, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition appears to be different. It is a blind competition where only taste matters, judged by an extraordinary panel of experts. "Many consider a Double Gold at San Francisco to be the highest medal one can receive in the spirits world, but there’s something even more prestigious: a Platinum Medal." We are proud that our Rum 0.0% has been awarded Double Gold every year since its creation and is now the first non-alcoholic spirit to receive the Platinum Medal. Our dedication to crafting the finest non-alcoholic spirits from real spirits is paying off, and we couldn't be prouder.Check out the full list of platinum medal winners at SFWSC here https://lnkd.in/dkx7AxjT #SFWSC #Competition #PlatinumMedal #DoubleGold #NoAlcohol #AlcoholFree #NonAlcoholicSpirits San Francisco World Spirits Competition The Tasting Alliance

🎉Happy International Whisk(e)y Day to all those who appreciate a good whisky, recognize it and know how to enjoy it. And best wishes to producers and master distillers all over the world that successfully overcome the challenges every day, constantly exploit their creativity to give new edges to the products and significantly contribute to the development of the quality whisk(e)y community and industry. Our journey with Carpathian Single Malt Whisky was not easy, the project didn’t take shape overnight and not everybody believed that we will succeed. But we did succeed and that happened very quickly after the release. The overwhelming positive feedback of our consumers and industry experts, the international awards, the events that we have organized all over the world, the high number of expressions that we have released so far, are all part of this success. ❕Highland Peak and Highland Mountain are also successful brands in our portfolio, inspired by the beauty and natural resources of the mountains as well. But today, I want to share with you a video that illustrates the journey of Carpathian Single Malt Whisky so far, speaks about the passion of our team and shows the enthusiasm of those that have tasted it. I hope our story will inspire others who have a dream, but haven’t had the courage to pursue it yet, to make the first step. Dream big, take action and ignore the background noise! That's what we did and that's why we're here now. 💡And keep following us, because we will soon unveil and new single malt whisky! 🥃Cheers! #romaniasfirstsinglemaltwhisky #carpathiansinglemalt #internationalwhiskeyday #alexandrionsaberdistillery1789 #romanianbarley #romanianwater #carpathianmountains

Huge news! We’ve won a Gin “Master” Award at The Global Spirits Masters Competitions | GSMC 🥳 Out of roughly 400 x Gins tasted blind, Master’s medals were only awarded to entries HIGHER than Gold. We’re 1 of just 36 in the WORLD 😳 Organised by the The Spirits Business - Judges were given a numbered glass & tasked with rating each entry in terms of botanical balance, distillation quality & overall character of the liquid 🧐 Judges described our contribution as a Gin with “so much interesting curry spice on the nose. Well-balanced cumin, ginger, turmeric & anise alongside fresh vegetal notes create a lot of very exciting complexity. Slightly dry, the palate is really well done - complex with a great finish” ✍️ After fighting our way into the top 5% of all Gins in the world this year at the IWSC - Club Oenologique, we were eager to know whether we could match this result with another stellar performance … … and just by following our normal recipe, here’s the answer! 🍸 These results are the ultimate “tonic” (if you’ll pardon the pun) for the now “multi award-winning” Gin I spent several boozy months creating from scratch during lockdown 🙏 Exciting times ahead - the start of another new chapter! 🙌 #iwsc #globalspiritsmasters #spiritsmasters #master #award #gin #spiritsbusiness #thespiritsbusiness #thinklocal #dorset

Countries around the world are becoming a real force when it comes to producing whisky. To decide which countries are putting out top-quality drams, we staged the latest iteration of our World Whisky Masters competition – here are the results.

A whisky region in Scotland is defined as an area with at least three whisky distilleries. Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre (also known because of a certain song) has three distilleries and is therefore one of the five whisky regions.

WHAT IT MEANS TO WIN AT THE London Competitions? North Uist Distillery | Certified B-Corp that won the 2023 London Spirits Competition with its award-winning Downpour Gin from Scotland share a few insights with our team. Downpour Scottish Dry Gin, from the North Uist Distillery Company in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, was the highest scoring spirits brand with 98 points in the 2023 London Spirits Competition. Here’s what it meant to the distillery owners Kate MacDonald and Jonny Ingledew: “Being a gold medal winner at the London Spirits Competition has had a significant impact on our sales. One of our business goals for the year was to gain more traction in the on-trade. Recognition from London Spirits Competition has acted as a seal of approval in this respect as the competition is judged by some of the world’s leading figures from the hospitality sector. Not only this, judging is undertaken with the end consumer in mind, so you know the judges can genuinely see a space for your products.” “Often it is difficult to identify a tangible link between awards success and specific listings, however, I can point to several new partnerships as a direct result of our London Spirits Competition medals. This includes a listing with a high-end UK-wide department store whose buyer was on the judging panel. This also includes the opening up of a new export market after we were approached by an importer who had seen coverage of our success.” “This is no coincidence. The LSC team did a superb job of promoting the competition and providing a platform for the medal winners. We have won top medals in other competitions and it was a flash in the pan, whereas LSC has sustained the coverage throughout the year. We really appreciate it – thank you!” #brandsuccess #globalrecognition #brandstory North Uist Distillery | Certified B-Corp | Kate MacDonald | Jonny Ingledew The Deadline for entry to the London Competitions is February 22.⌛️ Enter while you still have time: https://lnkd.in/dRVxt6b PS: Image proudly showing LSC sticker on top of the bottle. 😍
