Colorado Springs craft distillery takes away three medals at the 2022 Bartender Spirits Award.
- Colorado Springs, CO (1888PressRelease) July 04, 2022 - After a successful judging session in San Francisco in the month of May, 1350 Distilling received two silver medals and a bronze medal from a panel of high-profile bartenders and beverage directors. The Five Alarm Cinnamon Fire Bourbon received a bronze while the Wingman Gin and Blue Jacket Rum both received silver medals.
Medals were awarded to those spirits that meet very specific judging criteria, with a goal of identifying spirits that should become additions to restaurant and bar menus. Spirits were judged by Mixability, Balance and Versatility, Taste, Mouthfeel and Finish, Package & Price.
“We’re really excited that our three 1350 Spirits scored so highly on the various factors making them great spirits for the consumers to enjoy in restaurants and bars,” said Phill Bragg, President, and Head Distiller. “We really put a lot of emphasis on creating a brand with broad consumer appeal, and one that beverage drinkers will enjoy for a variety of different occasions. These awards are really a validation of our distillation expertise.”
Judged By Bartenders, Bar Managers and Off-Premise Managers For The On-Premise Industry. Each spirits brand had to score among these 5 criteria to get the best score: M (Mixability Score) + B (Balance and Versatility) + T (Taste, Mouthfeel and Finish) Score) + Package Score (P) + Value Score (V) = Bartenders Spirits Awards Final Score.
Sid Patel, CEO of event organizers Beverage Trade Network, pointed out the significance of having world-class bartenders choose the spirits they think customers will most enjoy drinking, “The idea of the Bartender Spirits Awards is to put the best judges forward to evaluate the best on-premise spirits for the consumer. We were very pleased with the quality of the spirits we received in the 4th year of the competition.”
