Bartender Spirits Awards aims to deliver the best spirits for the on-premise sector in the USA and this year, they honored OVO Vodka with a Gold Award scoring 93/100.
“The Innovation Award applauds spirits with an interesting and unique taste profile or design. Consumer judges deem these spirits as innovative and groundbreaking by highlighting them with this exclusive recognition.”
The aim of the spirits competition is to provide independent and honest reviews for brands targeting the U.S. bar trade. The judging panel consists of some of the most renowned names in the U.S. bar industry, all of them with extensive expertise within the on-premise industry. The result will be a relevant and practical source of reference for bartenders, bar managers, bar owners, and other industry professionals when making purchasing decisions for their establishments.
This competition recognizes that bartenders are the true influencers – their passions and tastes provide direction for the consumer, especially via their guidance with wine, beer or spirit recommendations. The creation of new drinks is often driven by bartender tastes and perceptions of current trends.
Medals are awarded to those spirits that meet very specific judging criteria, with a goal of identifying spirits that should become additions to bar inventories. Double Gold, Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals are awarded to the best-performing spirits based on the following metrics: taste; packaging; and price.
Medal winners are also showcased in the Bartenders Spirits TOP 100 SPIRITS Guide!
