Motupipi, New Zealand - August 10, 2017 /PressCable/ —

Golden Bay Distillery, a New Zealand-based distiller of handcrafted spirits for globally sophisticated sippers and savors, has won Silver for their JiuJiu Blue label vodka at the prestigious London International World Spirits Competition. The competition was held in late July at IWSC’s UK purpose built testing facilities and they utilized the services of nearly 400 judges from over 30 countries. Consumers globally trust the IWSC medal, and actively seek it when making purchasing decisions. With 48 years-experience in the industry, the IWSC is widely recognised as the most prestigious competition in the world. Chemical analysis, along with the technical and judging committee ensures the most credible results.

Winning a Silver medal indicates the refinement of JiuJiu vodka and also its complexity, and places it amongst the best in the world. The International Wine & Spirit Competition’s aim is quite simple; to recognise and reward the very best wines and spirits in the world. Not only does it act as a third party endorsement from the best in the industry, but it also helps consumers to make smarter drinking choices. Samples are tasted in pre-poured numbered glasses so judges never see a bottle (double-blind). Each product is judged by a whole panel in sync, initially individually, and then panel chairs facilitate group discussions. Detailed chemical and microbiological analysis is undertaken by an independent third party to identify ‘show products’ that may not be the true representation of the product that consumers would buy from the shelf.

Golden Bay Distillery, situated on New Zealand’s South Island, uses the finest ingredients on earth mixed with time-honored distilling methods to create the finest handcrafted spirits. Focused on sustainability, the spirits produced by Golden Bay are all-natural and preservative-free. JiuJiu Blue Label Vodka with Gold Leaf is a triple distilled, charcoal filtered grain spirit made using Te Waikoropupu spring water. With a subtle vanilla, grapefruit and pear aroma, this vodka contains the refreshing taste of peppermint and leaves a silky viscosity in the mouth.
