By FBWorld Team

Drake's Organic Spirits announced today that Drake's Organic Premium Vodka has been awarded Double Gold and Drake's Organic White Rum has received Gold at the just concluded Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) Convention & Exposition in Orlando, FL. The highly-respected awards are widely considered among the most prestigious in the industry because judges are industry experts who blind taste-test each spirit.

"We are extremely honored to receive validation from the WSWA tasting panel confirming that quality and taste can be achieved with organic spirits," said Drake's Organic Spirits Founder Mark Anderson. "We are committed to producing award-winning spirits by using the highest quality organic products and giving consumers a choice to buy and support brands that use ingredients without all the chemicals and toxins that damage our planet."

Judging and judging criteria for the Wine & Spirits Tasting Competition is managed by The Tasting Panel magazine and The Somm Journal, two of the most widely circulated trade publications in the beverage industry.
