Stock Spirits brands win prestigious international industry awards
09/07/2014
Stock Spirits Group, a leading Central and Eastern Europe branded spirits and liqueurs business, is delighted to announce that several of its vodka, brandy and liqueur brands have, once again, been awarded internationally recognised accolades for quality and taste.
The brands received awards in both The International Spirits Challenge and from the juries of the International Taste & Quality Institute (iTQi).
The International Spirits Challenge is the most authoritative, respected and influential spirits competition in the world, and now in its 19th year, is the premier event in promoting outstanding quality spirits from across the globe. All products are blind tasted and awarded scores for aroma, appearance, taste and finish.
The iTQi is the world leading organization dedicated to testing and promoting superior food and drink. Its Superior Taste Awards, also conducted as blind tastings, are decided upon by judges selected from the 15 most prestigious European culinary and sommeliers associations.
For the third consecutive year Stock Spirits has won a gold medal in the International Spirits Challenge (this year for Stock Prestige Grapefruit liqueur), and has also added to its previous silver and bronze awards with a further five silver and four bronze in 2014 for selected vodkas and liqueurs.
In the iTQi Superior Taste Awards, also for the third successive year, Stock has increased its haul of accolades adding 5 three star awards, 13 two star awards and 2 one star awards to the trophy cabinet. The awards have been given across the brand portfolio and include brandy, whisky, vodka, and flavoured spirits.
The complete list of award winners is included below.
Richard Hayes, Group Sales and Marketing Director of Stock Spirits, commented: “We are delighted to receive this recognition once again for such a wide range of our brands. It is of great significance to have our products endorsed by two such respected industry awards bodies, and is testament to the quality of our product development and commitment to delivering excellent brands and flavours for our customers.”
