FLORIDA GIN COMPANY IS NAMED A GOLD WINNER IN INTERNATIONAL SPIRITS COMPETITION

Tampa, FL – June 11, 2024 – Vista Gin, a new gin company based in Largo, Florida, is proud to announce that one of its flagship products, Sakura, was selected as a gold winner by the Spring 2024 John Barleycorn Awards Taste Competition. This prestigious award, presented by The Barleycorn Society, recognizes excellence in distilling, with each entry judged on a 100-point scale evaluating appearance, aroma, taste, and finish.

Vista Gin was established with the mission to bring true craft distilling to Florida and beyond, aiming to mirror the success of craft brewing across the nation, and is positioned to meet the growing demand for high-quality, artisanal spirits. Vista Gin's Sakura is celebrated for its sophisticated, herbaceous profile and features an innovative blend of juniper, coriander, lemongrass, shiso, turmeric, chamomile, black pepper, ginger, clove, orris, lime peel, orange peel, and cucumber. 

A note from the judges highlighted Sakura as "a botanical revelation with lemon zest and a touch of spice plus a pop of lavender on the long and citrus-laden finish."

“After close to a decade of making spirits professionally, it’s gratifying to receive this award from such a prestigious competition just months after launching our flagship products,” said Jesse Tate, Founder and Distiller of Vista Gin. “We just launched our gins a few months ago, and it is an honor to get this national and international recognition.”

This accolade not only validates the hard work and craftsmanship behind Vista Gin but also sets the stage for future growth. "We hope that winning this award will help us find placement on store and bar shelves both locally and nationally," said Meghan Parsons, Director of Marketing & Operations.

Vista Gin invites gin enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys a great cocktail, to visit their tasting room, open Wednesday through Sunday, where they can experience a flight of all four gins, as well as expertly crafted cocktails.

Discover Vista Gin and experience a new era of craft distilling.
