Slovenian distillery wins multiple awards in Tokyo Spirits Competition

The Berryshka family distillery and chocolate factory in the village of Obrh, Slovenia, won six awards at a major international spirits competition in Tokyo.

The family business operates on traditional recipes and manual production methods. The distillery produces a variety of spirits, including gin and whisky, and a chocolate factory. The owners use local ingredients and traditional methods, such as aging their BIO Brinjevec spirit in oak barrels for three years to develop a specific amber color and aroma.

The distillery participated in the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition, which is one of the most prestigious events of its kind in Asia. More than 200 spirits experts evaluated over 800 samples in a blind tasting where they could not see the brand or country of origin. The competition judged the products on aroma, harmony, taste, finish, and overall impression. The business achieved several honors during the event.

Purfl Blue Gin earned a gold medal, while Gin 'N Berry Gin and Berryshka Whisky received silver medals. London Dry Gin and BIO Brinjevec took home bronze medals. Additionally, the Berryshka Single Malt Whisky received a special recognition for its design. The company plans to launch three new products soon to keep up with current market trends.
