A series of global accolades for Smoke Lab Vodka

Smoke Lab Vodka has recently received several global accolades at some of the most prestigious spirits award platforms. This is a major achievement for Smoke Lab Vodka, which made its international debut in the United States and Singapore in late 2020, amidst the pandemic.

Smoke Lab Vodka Classic and Aniseed won both Gold and Best-in-Class Master Medals at the prestigious Spirits Business Asia 2021 which is a blind-tasting competition. 

The Smoke Lab Aniseed and Classic were also awarded a Double Gold, Gold & Silver medal respectively at the World Spirits Design Competition in San Francisco, held earlier this year. Both variants were also judged Silver & Gold winners at the 2021 Bartenders Spirits Awards in San Francisco, which focuses on the best on-premise spirits for bars across the United States. Most recently, the brand also won a Gold at the 2021 SIP Awards for its Smoke Aniseed variant.

The Classic variant is intense and complex with a smooth finish and bold flavour hitting the nose with fresh nutty aromas and with subtle hints of citrus fruits. The adventurous Aniseed flavour variant is a delicate mix of fennel and liquorice notes for a creamy and sweet palate, making it a playful nostalgic exploration of an Indian household herb – the ‘saunf’ or fennel.

Varun Jain, the Founder and CEO of SMOKE LAB and NV Distilleries, says, “For a young brand like ours, having just launched in the United States in the middle of a global pandemic, being recognised by some of the most prestigious and largest spirits competitions is extremely exciting and encouraging! This is testament that our product is at par with any of the best quality vodkas in the world right now. We want to put India on the global spirits stage, and this is a well-deserved win in that direction. Cheers to our amazing team at Smoke Lab.”
