Litchfield Distillery earns three medals at San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

For the second year in a row, Litchfield Distillery won medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for our Batchersâ Gin, Vodka and Bourbon Whiskey. All three spirits are CT-Grown and distilled 100% at our Litchfield Distillery operation in Litchfield, Connecticut.
The competition is billed as the most respected and influential spirits competition in the world, with more than 2,253 submissions in a four-day tasting process. The 2017 SFWSC was the second time we entered this competition and the first we included our Batchersâ Vodka.
âThe San Francisco World Spirits Competition is the most influential in the industry and winning a medal here is very meaningful,â said competition director Anthony Dias Blue. âWe have the industryâs most respected experts serving as judges, and every entry is blind-tasted under highly focused conditions. There is no better way to discern quality and identify trends.â
Batchersâ Vodka was honored with its first ever medal, a silver. Our vodka is distilled with CT-grown corn from Lion Rock Farm in Sharon. We distill it 4 Ÿ times followed by a gravity-fed filtering process that produces an exceptionally smooth vodka. Because our Batchersâ Vodka is distilled from corn, it is gluten free.
Our Batchersâ Gin took home a silver medal for the second year in a row. We use select botanicals, masterfully balanced to create our gin. Batchersâ Gin showcases a taste profile that is slightly sweet and citrusy but retains that classic juniper signature gin lovers expect.
Our Batchersâ Straight Bourbon Whiskey earned a bronze medal this year in a crowded field. After just a few years of being in business, weâre thrilled our homegrown Connecticut bourbon is able to garner recognition on this level. Weâre excited to compete at next yearâs event!
âWe are gratified to be recognized at this important industry event,â said Batcher David Baker. âOur goal was to simply spread the word about our spirits in the industry. Winning three medals keeps our confidence high that our Spirit of Hard Work is paying off.â
