In 2014, Simply Pure Rarified Spirits received five awards including Blue Duck Rare Vodka being awarded the highest accolade at the prestigious San Francisco International Spirit Competition, Double Gold. Already this year Blue Duck was voted Top 10 Vodkas in the World while its sister brand Black Robin was again awarded Double Gold in The Fifty Best Awards. Chuffed to bits, Simply Pure announced the honours and celebrated with a Rare Trip competition.
But the accolades keep coming, with gold for Blue Duck Vodka in The Fifty Best Awards and both brands achieving gold medals in this year’s US SIP awards in a category reserved only for previous winners.
“It’s getting silly in the best possible way,” says Peter Darroch, CEO of Simply Pure Rarified Spirits. “If we put all the awards on the bottles, you wouldn’t be able to see the label.”
