We’re actually going live on local morning TV here this morning via Fox 31 and channel 2 (both Denver), Our local distributor is selling out, retail accounts are calling off the hook, and our whiskey is running out! My attention has been diverted to production, blending, and getting four year bottled in Bond back in stock, Truly, all because of the win at your competition. Thank you - Heyward Gualandi, Sales Director, Root Shoot Malting, USA

"Retailers and wholesalers who were 'indifferent' to our products are now queuing up at ‘our door'. The curiosity it has caused amongst the trade and public has increased our sales dramatically. Finally, the award has caused BBC South Today and BBC Radio Oxford to interview us, giving even greater exposure." - Chalgrove Artisan Distillery

"People were really happy for us We've really spread the message across many of our top UK customers - our importers, our best trade customers, our retailers. And they're all really happy. The cost of living crisis is challenging for everyone. People have less money to go and buy wine in the UK now. So they want an experience, they want value. So we have to provide something really good at the price that they're paying. And that's why this award is so important to us. It's not just to be recognised, but commercially it's extremely important.”, Tony Cloke, Spy Valley Wines

"We were thrilled not just for the recognition, but because it comes from a comprehensively considered competition that aims to reward whiskeys that are high quality and attractively packaged." - Andrea Myers, Vice President of Marketing for Heaven's Door.

"Winning a Gold medal and Best Package really is fantastic! I and my wife have worked on the project for over 2 and a half years, so it really is amazing to get such positive feedback after working so hard on this project." - Mallorca Distillery

Gordon Chalmers, Head Distiller and Co-owner of Tamborine Mountain Distillery, Queensland, Australia, shares his opinion on the London Spirits Competition: “Only one word needed: fantastic!”

Winning Gold medals has been a powerful driver in attracting international buyers to Headlands’ portfolio, enabling us to promote our products effectively across online and print media. In a crowded awards landscape, the London Spirits Competition stands out, with its medals highly respected by buyers, helping strengthen our positioning and support our growth both in Australia and in international markets.

“The fact that we won gold at the London Spirits was huge. Because of that, we got an inquiry from Taiwan, we got somebody from Australia, and someone from the UK talking to us.”

“Winning the world's best single malt not only gave our brand international credibility, but also opened up export opportunities from all over the world, affirming that Tasmanian whisky can stand strongly beside the world's finest.”

“That’s right, this recognition not only validates our dedication, but it has also boosted our sales and has given us enormous prestige in the market. When we began this project, we dreamed of creating a drink that represents the essence of Mendoza, and seeing that effort bearing fruit is simply exciting.” Daniel Casado, CEO, Gin Flipa
