Were 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.
