World Spirits „New Generation“

In 2015 the „World Spirits Award“ started its World Tour – for the first time ever the Award Celebration was not celebrated in Klagenfurt. The Prize Giving Ceremony took place at one of the Superstars of the competition – for this purpose the Braunstein Distillery in Danish Køge was chosen. More than 30 winners – from Mauritius via Europe to Canada – travelled to the family-like award presentation ceremony and „danced away“ the successful participation in the WSA on a small but elegant scale.

The subsequent Distillery Tour with all the participants was a complete success – thereby the young and aspiring Danish distillery scene presented itself from its best side. Braunstein and the distillery ??? were great hosts. In this context we would like to take the opportunity to thank them once again cordially for the perfect cooperation and hospitality.

The „World Spirits Academy“ in June 2015 also went fabulously. For the first time the courses were bilingual (English and German) since participants even from California and Trinidad & Tobago had come to Carinthia. The atmosphere was „spiritual“ so that a „family-like“ friendship from the Basic Class to the Tasting Trainings within the Master Class developed among the participants.

„The New Generation of World Spirits“ is doing the WSA visibly good. The internationality regarding the Award as well as the Academy works like a „turbo“.

Dear World of Spirits, we’re coming! One can already look forward to which spot on earth we will present the World Spirits Award in 2016.

Cheers and ‚to your Health’
