In the contest which is held by the English periodical “Drinks International” the enterprise took part for the first time. Only two golden medals were awarded in the category “Flavoured Vodkas”, one of them was given to our products, which won over many world-known brands. For the contest the standard product from the warehouse was given – no special samples where produced. Producers of alcoholic beverages from 20 countries of the world, including Russia, Ukraine, USA, Germany and Sweden took part in the tasting contest. The winners were defined by the professional experts-tasters in the process of blind tasting. More than 12 countries were in the judges committee – among them were the most respected business leaders, including the best blenders, distillers, importers, distributors, buyers, journalists and writers. International Spirits Challenge is considered to be one of the most fair and unbiased contests in the field of alcohol, and to win a victory in it is honorable for the most famous brands. More than thousand of the best beverages from all over the world take part in it every year. The compulsory condition for the rewarding is the en-bloc vote of all the judges, and to win the golden medal –the product to satisfy all the standards required in the category. Earlier, the products of the company took first places on the similar contests in Russia and Belarus. On “Prodexpo” in Russia we get golden medals almost every year, in particular, this year the golden medal won exactly “Bulbash. Zubrovaya” and in 2006 “Bulbash. Lime with honey” got a star of “Prodexpo”.
