Cierto Tequila Hits a Milestone
In a bold move that shakes the spirits industry to its core, Cierto Tequila has just become the first tequila brand to rack up over 1,000 awards. This is no run-of-the-mill accomplishment; it’s a resounding declaration of their dominance in the world of fine tequila. They’re not just another player on the field; they’re redefining what top-tier tequila should taste like.
A Commitment to Quality
Cierto's journey to this phenomenal recognition speaks volumes about their commitment to quality and authenticity. At the recent 2024 New York World Spirits Competition, Cierto pocketed eight medals—three Double Gold and four Gold—which pushed their total count to a jaw-dropping 1,002 medals. This achievement solidifies Cierto as the reigning champion in tequila accolades.
The Voice of Leadership
Ami-Lynn Bakshi, CEO of Elevated Spirits (the driving force behind Cierto), radiates pride about hitting this pivotal benchmark. She puts it simply: “Achieving 1,000 awards reflects our Master Distillers' unrelenting dedication to crafting authentic tequila that truly honors agave.” It’s clear that even industry veterans are agreeing: Cierto is setting the gold standard for premium tequila.
A Year Brimming with Accolades
The celebrations don’t stop at just one landmark victory. Over the past year alone, Cierto has claimed numerous prestigious titles including Tequila of the Year at both the 2024 London Spirits Competition and 2024 USA Spirits Ratings. They also snagged recognition for Best Tequila and Best in Class at yet another international competition—the 2024 Singapore World Spirits Competition. Clearly, this brand isn’t just coasting on past glories; it’s thriving.
Midas Touch?
Bakshi notes that while they are honored by these recognitions, they're not entirely surprised either. “The demand for authenticity is rising,” she says. With growing consumer awareness around genuine products, it's no shock that Cierto quickly ascended as both the top-selling new luxury tequila and fastest-growing additive-free option out there.
The Art of Craftsmanship
The soul of Cierto Tequila lies in its painstakingly careful crafting process. Every drop comes from estate-grown agave meticulously cultivated in Jalisco Highlands—where expert agaveros harvest them right at peak maturity. Production doesn’t cut corners either: hand-cutting, slow cooking, and traditional distillation methods yield tequilas that respect tradition without compromise.
Those aged expressions? Each one is a carefully blended masterpiece pulled from an impressive library owned by the storied Fonseca family—a treasure trove filled with rare tequilas from decades past—and there’s absolutely no room for additives or shortcuts here.
Pushing Boundaries for Tomorrow
Sustainability isn’t just trendy talk; it’s part of Cierto's core mission. Bakshi emphasizes how they aim to revolutionize what luxury tequila stands for without sacrificing integrity or taste along the way. By submitting their spirits into rigorous competitions globally—like daily tests—they're cementing their position as innovators within an often stagnating industry.
If you want a taste of this award-winning liquid gold, you can find exclusive offerings from Cierto—like their Private Collection and Reserve Collection—at select retailers or upscale dining spots around town. In conclusion: if you're hunting true excellence in your next pour, look no further than this award-laden powerhouse—they’re shaking things up for good.
