Kalvelage won yet another international medal: This time, bronze at the Los Angeles Spirits Awards.
Recently, the third edition of the Los Angeles Spirits Awards took place, a drinks competition that rewards the best spirits produced in the most diverse regions of the world. Over two days, 16 jurors of different nationalities tasted hundreds of spirits. Among the judges were journalists from the gastronomic sector, mixologists and even representatives of the most prestigious brands.
During the Los Angeles Spirits Awards, several brands submitted their spirits to the jury for evaluation and were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals. Among them, Kalvelage! Kalvelage Vibe Vodka won a bronze medal in the tournament.
This was Kalvelage’s first participation in the Los Angeles Spirits Awards. Kalvelage Vibe Vodka stands out for being produced with 100% national cereals, in addition to using the purest water from the European Valley, in Santa Catarina, where the Kalvelage distillery is located.
Still in 2022, Kalvelage was also awarded at the Singapore Worlds Spirits Competition, a tournament we talk about in this post. This is another great moment in the history of Kalvelage. With this new medal, Kalvelage Vibe Vodka reached its tenth international achievement. In total, Kalvelage now has 24 international awards. The first of these came in 2014, and since then all of our products have been awarded awards.
âWinning a medal in an international competition is great for the product’s visibility, as well as being a certificate of quality for consumers who are increasingly open to trying national productsâ, explains MaurĂcio Kalvelage, one of the company’s founders.
With this new medal, Kalvelage became the subject of several news reports, including appearing on the prestigious Forbeswebsite.
The story of Kalvelage began in 2012, when MaurĂcio and his brother Marcos decided to open a distillery. What was a hobby soon showed enormous potential, and so the brothers decided to improve themselves. âKalvelage actually started as a hobby, as both my brother and I were always interested in learning more about the world of spirits, so we took courses, studied the drinks market and improved our products. All this to find the perfect formula between balance, quality and flavor. We gradually gained repercussions and awards around the world, and today we celebrate all the achievements and what is yet to comeâ, concludes MaurĂcio.
Currently, it is possible to find Kalvelage products in various sales points, such as emporiums, restaurants, bars and inns in different regions of Brazil, with the South and Southeast as its main market.
In addition to Kalvelage Vibe Vodka, perfect for the art of cocktail making, Kalvelage also has three other products in its catalogue: Kalvelage Vodka, a super premium distillate and the first drink produced by Kalvelage Distillery; Kalvelage Oak Vodka, a pioneer in Brazil with its American oak extract; and Kalvelage London Dry Gin, which combines eight aromatic herbs, giving the gin an authentic Brazilian flavor.
With its win at the Los Angeles Spirits Awards, Kalvelage shows once again that it is a respected distillery in the market. It was only possible to reach this level with a lot of dedication and quality.
