America's first pisco brand from the first female pisco liquor
owner in Chilean history was one of eight entries to be singled out
with a gold medal in this category.
SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Catan
Pisco, America's first pisco brand, announces it has won a gold
medal in the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC).
This was the brand's initial entry into the competition, garnering
one of eight pisco liquors gold or higher medals.
As one of the oldest and largest competitions of its kind, the
SFWSC is recognized internationally as the premier competition
recognizing the best liquors globally, a universal indicator of
superior quality and craftsmanship.
A gold medal is one of the most prestigious marks a label can
receive, especially as a new entry. In this year's competition, 21
entries were made by other pisco labels, with only nine classified
as Chilean pisco. Catan Pisco sets the standard for other Chilean
pisco liquors, crafting a spirit distilled from 100% grapes with
the versatility of vodka and the upscale aromas and complexity of
premium tequila.
"It's an honor to win any medal, but this particular one is
significant and encouraging," said Catalina
Gaete-Bentz, Catan Pisco's founder and first female pisco
owner in Chilean history. "It shows consumers and markets abroad
and here at home that we have the quality and experience they're
looking for in pisco. I feel empowered to continue innovating and
being a much-needed female voice in the spirits industry."
Since launching in 2018, Catan Pisco has gained worldwide
recognition as a superior pisco brand. Within its first year, it
won double gold medals and Best in Show at the 2019 San Diego
Spirits Festival. Receiving these medals and reaching major
milestones supports Catan Pisco's goal to craft an elevated and
unique drink experience while encouraging a new way to celebrate
and bring people together, especially in America, where consumers
tend to focus on familiar brands.
"Winning Gold at our first entry to SFWSC is a sign that pisco
is very much a relevant category in the industry and further
validates that the American palate is ready to welcome pisco into
their bars and homes." from a new innovative way to celebrate
accomplishments, big and small alike."
Catan Pisco will be at this year's San Diego Spirits Festival.
The event will take place Sept. 24
and 25 at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla, Calif. For more information on the
