Just six months after its debut, the Lithuanian spirits brand WILDERNESS has already won 8 prestigious awards internationally. This impressive feat was accomplished by competing in 3 of the world’s largest spirits competitions: the Frankfurt International Trophy, the London Spirits Competition, and the International Wine & Spirit Competition. These events are highly selective, so even participating there is a great honor. The judges for these competitions are top-tier professionals who use strict standards, following ISO 9001 standarts. Winning medals in such a competitive environment shows that our spirits can compete with the best brands in the world.
Gold and Silver at Prestigious Competitions
The Frankfurt International Trophy attracted 511 tasters from around the world, who evaluated over 4,000 different spirits, including 721 in the spirits category alone. Based on the aroma, taste, intensity, and quality of the spirits, the judging panel awarded a gold medal to the London Dry Gin and a silver medal to the Single Malt Whisky. At the London Spirits Competition, all WILDERNESS products received silver medals. The competition assessed product quality, value for money, and design. The International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) brought together approximately 100 experienced experts who tasted over 4,000 spirits from around the world, without prior knowledge of the brand, country of origin, or price. All WILDERNESS products were awarded silver medals in this competition.
Expert Recognition: The Result of Dedicated Work
International experts who have tasted WILDERNESS spirits have highlighted their unique flavor profiles and harmonious balance. For example, IWSC judges described the Purple Dry Gin as a very well-balanced spirit with subtle citrus and spice notes, while the London Dry Gin pleasantly surprised tasters with its pronounced juniper flavor. The Single Malt Whisky was characterized as having a smooth tropical fruit aroma and a complex composition, reminiscent of a blend of various whiskies.
The Secret to Success: Mastery and High-Quality Ingredients
The success behind WILDERNESS is due to the passion and hard work of the skilled craftsmen at Kauen Craft. Each WILDERNESS spirit is handmade, with special attention to every detail, from the ingredients to the hand-waxed corks. These awards show that hard work pays off, and we’re proud that our products meet the standards of even the most picky customers. We’re thrilled with the results and believe that everyone who tries WILDERNESS will taste the true spirit of the wild in every sip.
