This latest achievement occurred at the famed New York International Spirits Competition where Till Vodka was honored as “Kansas Vodka of the Year.”  Results of the competition, which was held in the fall, were released early this year.

Close to 600 distilled spirits from around the world were entered in the event, which consisted of a blind tasting by a panel of experienced judges.  Award criteria were also based on category and price factors.

"Made using the finest quality Kansas wheat, grown by hardworking Kansas farmers, Till American Wheat Vodka represents the passion, hard work and honest values of the heartland from which it comes,” said Andy Mansinne, vice president for brands.  “Distilled by the proud men and women of Atchison, Kansas, the result is a uniquely smooth premium vodka.”

Shanae Randolph, MGP beverage brands director, stated,  “We are highly excited about the Kansas Vodka of the Year award, as well as the previous awards that Till Vodka has received.  Each speaks volumes about the expertise and dedication that go into making it.  This level of recognition is not only significant, but very meaningful in terms of how rapidly Till Vodka is earning distinction for its remarkable qualities.”

Within just the first seven months following its release last spring, Till Vodka had already received five prestigious awards.  These include the following:

  • Silver medal in the Sommelier Challenge™ International Wine and Spirits Competition in San Diego, September 2016.
  • Silver medal at the San Diego Spirits Festival, August 2016. 
  • Silver Medal at the 2016 New York World Wine and Spirits Competition, August 2016.
  • BevStar Gold Award in the spirits category from Beverage World magazine, May 2016.
  • Silver medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, March 2016.

The Annual New York International Spirits Competition is the first major international spirits competition with trade-only judges consisting of buyers from top retail stores, restaurant and bar owners, distributors and importers.
