Among others, GUSTUS SPECIAL RESERVE SHIRAZ, a private label created in collaboration with AMKA GROUP, Darling Cellars, and the design agency Motherland, was recognized. These awards acknowledge outstanding innovation and quality in private label products. They celebrate retailers and wholesalers for their excellence in creating store brand products across various categories, including food, beverages, health and beauty, household products, and more. Products are judged based on several criteria, including taste, appearance, packaging, product concept, and value for money. The evaluation process involves industry experts, chefs, and consumers. Within AMKA Group, we work with wine brands both big and small, including celebrity brands and private labels. The importance of private labels has grown significantly within the last eight to ten years in the wine industry. By now, we have created a significant number of private labels in different markets and channels, gaining valuable experience and insights into the whole process. Our strong collaborative relationships with wineries across the world provide us with many opportunities to help our partners achieve success in their respective businesses. In short, we can help our partners with: - Sourcing the wine and bottling - Choosing different varieties, blends, and styles - Label and packaging design (both in-house and via design agencies) - Visuals for marketing and branding campaigns - Quality control - Supply chain and scalability - Innovation and responsiveness to trends - Profitability

Huge news! We’ve won a Gin “Master” Award at The Global Spirits Masters Competitions | GSMC 🥳 Out of roughly 400 x Gins tasted blind, Master’s medals were only awarded to entries HIGHER than Gold. We’re 1 of just 36 in the WORLD 😳 Organised by the The Spirits Business - Judges were given a numbered glass & tasked with rating each entry in terms of botanical balance, distillation quality & overall character of the liquid 🧐 Judges described our contribution as a Gin with “so much interesting curry spice on the nose. Well-balanced cumin, ginger, turmeric & anise alongside fresh vegetal notes create a lot of very exciting complexity. Slightly dry, the palate is really well done - complex with a great finish” ✍️ After fighting our way into the top 5% of all Gins in the world this year at the IWSC - Club Oenologique, we were eager to know whether we could match this result with another stellar performance … … and just by following our normal recipe, here’s the answer! 🍸 These results are the ultimate “tonic” (if you’ll pardon the pun) for the now “multi award-winning” Gin I spent several boozy months creating from scratch during lockdown 🙏 Exciting times ahead - the start of another new chapter! 🙌 #iwsc #globalspiritsmasters #spiritsmasters #master #award #gin #spiritsbusiness #thespiritsbusiness #thinklocal #dorset

The gin collection grows! We’re pleased to share that our partnership with Spirits Platform Pty Ltd in Australia has extended, with the arrival of The Botanist on Small Batch Learning. Spirits Platform and its portfolio partner Rémy Cointreau were already reaching our learner base of large-enterprise retail and hospitality teams with sales-focused product training on Cointreau (now renewed into its second contract year). But the famed French orange liqueur has now been joined by its stable-mate The Botanist, a gin from Islay in Scotland. The bite-size lesson, including a quick video from Brand Ambassador Josh Varna (below), is a great example of the short, sharp brand training we champion here at Small Batch Learning: ✅ What it is (and why it’s special) ✅ Simple production details (that make sense to the customer) ✅ Clear, concise language (that team members can repeat easily, without sounding silly!) Spirits Platform is one of the Australian market’s leading importers and brand advocacy builders. As well as the Remy Cointreau portfolio, their premium line-up includes The Macallan, Highland Park, Amaro Montenegro, Jägermeister and Disaronno, among many others. “When it comes to our flagship brands like Cointreau, Spirits Platform has always emphasised the critical role that engaging channel partner staff with comprehensive product training has on driving growth,” says Spirits Platform Brand Manager, Cristobal de la Rubia Pena. “Small Batch Learning has become a key solution in helping us deliver successful brand partnerships and underscores our commitment to achieving our brand education objectives.” #producttraining #retail #hospitality #spiritsindustry #brandadvocacy #gin #learninganddevelopment #customerexperience

"Competition medals don't mean anything; everyone has medals." That's a common sentiment we often hear. Most of the time, it's true. Many competitions give distinctions to whoever pays, with judging criteria that don't solely focus on taste. However, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition appears to be different. It is a blind competition where only taste matters, judged by an extraordinary panel of experts. "Many consider a Double Gold at San Francisco to be the highest medal one can receive in the spirits world, but there’s something even more prestigious: a Platinum Medal." We are proud that our Rum 0.0% has been awarded Double Gold every year since its creation and is now the first non-alcoholic spirit to receive the Platinum Medal. Our dedication to crafting the finest non-alcoholic spirits from real spirits is paying off, and we couldn't be prouder.Check out the full list of platinum medal winners at SFWSC here https://lnkd.in/dkx7AxjT #SFWSC #Competition #PlatinumMedal #DoubleGold #NoAlcohol #AlcoholFree #NonAlcoholicSpirits San Francisco World Spirits Competition The Tasting Alliance
