“That’s right, this recognition not only validates our dedication, but it has also boosted our sales and has given us enormous prestige in the market. When we began this project, we dreamed of creating a drink that represents the essence of Mendoza, and seeing that effort bearing fruit is simply exciting.”

Being a medal winner at the LSC has had a significant impact on our sales. One of our business goals for the year was to gain more traction in the on-trade. Recognition from LSC has acted as a seal of approval in this respect as the competition is judged by some of the world's leading figures from the hospitality sector. This includes a listing with a high-end UK-wide department store whose buyer was on the judging panel. This also includes the opening up of a new export market after we were approached by an importer who had seen coverage of our success.

This is no coincidence. The LSC team did a superb job of promoting the competition and providing a platform for the medal winners.

"Retailers and wholesalers who were 'indifferent' to our products are now queuing up at ‘our door'. The curiosity it has caused amongst the trade and public has increased our sales dramatically. Finally, the award has caused BBC South Today and BBC Radio Oxford to interview us, giving even greater exposure." - Chalgrove Artisan Distillery

"We were thrilled not just for the recognition, but because it comes from a comprehensively considered competition that aims to reward whiskeys that are high quality and attractively packaged." - Andrea Myers, Vice President of Marketing for Heaven's Door.

"Winning a Gold medal and Best Package really is fantastic! I and my wife have worked on the project for over 2 and a half years, so it really is amazing to get such positive feedback after working so hard on this project." - Mallorca Distillery

Gordon Chalmers, Head Distiller and Co-owner of Tamborine Mountain Distillery, Queensland, Australia, shares his opinion on the London Spirits Competition: “Only one word needed: fantastic!”

Winning Gold medals has been a powerful driver in attracting international buyers to Headlands’ portfolio, enabling us to promote our products effectively across online and print media. In a crowded awards landscape, the London Spirits Competition stands out, with its medals highly respected by buyers, helping strengthen our positioning and support our growth both in Australia and in international markets.

“The fact that we won gold at the London Spirits was huge. Because of that, we got an inquiry from Taiwan, we got somebody from Australia, and someone from the UK talking to us.”

“Winning the world's best single malt not only gave our brand international credibility, but also opened up export opportunities from all over the world, affirming that Tasmanian whisky can stand strongly beside the world's finest.”
