DALLAS – Duckworth Distillery announced that it earned Gold, Silver and Bronze medals at the 20th Annual Finger Lakes International Wine & Spirits Competition (FLIWC) held July 14-16 and July 20-21, 2020 in New York state.
Started 20 years ago, this competition has become one of the largest in the world held to benefit a charitable organization. All proceeds from the competition benefit children and families affected by cancer and sickle cell anemia served by Camp Good Days & Special Times.
The camp’s recreational facility on Keuka Lake hosted the wine portion of the competition July 14-16, 2020. The spirits portion of the competition was held at the headquarters office in Mendon, NY July 20-21, 2020. The organizers made significant changes to the competition this year to keep the health and safety of all involved at the forefront during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Entries included over 2,000 wines and spirits from more than 10 countries that were blind-judged by a distinguished panel comprising sommeliers, wine makers, wine writers, and experienced spirits judges. Spirit judges awarded a total of 108 medals, including bronze, silver, gold, and double gold for unanimous decisions.
All wines and spirits were presented to the panel of judges with only the varietal or blend identified. No indication of geography, vintage, or price point was shared, ensuring completely unbiased evaluation of each wine and spirit.
Duckworth Distillery earned medals for all four of its vodka entries:
· Gold Medal - Duckworth French Oak Barrel Vodka
