Prevelon: Premium vodka by order of the Kremlin
Kremlin Premium Vodka was created as the official drink for all diplomatic receptions and banquets at the Kremlin and was intended as the hallmark of high-ranking events. The decision in favour of the most traditional Russian drink was unanimous. It was only produced on special order and in limited amounts. The first large batch of this ‘protocol’ vodka was ordered in February 1945 for the Yalta Conference. Kremlin Award Grand Premium came on the market in 2011 and is exported to 38 countries, and in many of them it holds the top position in the ultra-premium vodka category. Since 2016, the product range has included Kremlin Award Classic, which enjoys great popularity amongst all partners.
Two products have been added to the product range. Kremlin Award Organic is based on alcohol that is produced from the highest quality organic wheat, and on natural drinking water. The vodka passes through a multi-stage purification through pure birchwood charcoal. The alcohol for Kremlin Award Vintage is made from organic grains from the same harvest. The wheat grains are stored in a grain silo until they reach their physiological maturity in order to get a high-quality base product. The ‘luxury alcohol’ is then mixed with natural drinking water and, after purification, is granted a resting period. Production is limited to the year stated on the label.
At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Kremlin Award Organic and Kremlin Award Vintage.

Diageo – From London to the whole world
Approximately 33,000 employees are employed worldwide at Diageo, the market leader in premium spirits, with Smirnoff (vodka), Johnnie Walker (whiskey), J&B (Scotch whiskey), Baileys (liqueur), Captain Morgan (rum), Cuervo (tequila) and Tanqueray (gin), Guinness beer and branded wines. Production takes place all around the world: from Great Britain and Ireland, Italy, Spain and Africa, to the USA, Canada, Latin America, Australia, India and the Caribbean. The global corporation emerged in 1997 from the merger between Guinness and GrandMet. 180 markets around the world are handled from its London headquarters.
A lot of work and lots of attention to detail go into creating the in-depth product descriptions on Diageo’s website. Information and analysis is provided about issues ranging from detailed descriptions of the production down to the most minute ingredients. Finally, they are aware of the size of their company and also of their responsibilities as a supplier of alcoholic products. The name Diageo was also deliberately chosen – it represents their agenda. Put together from ‘dia’ (the Latin word for ‘day’) and ‘geo’ (the Greek word for ‘world’), it means that every day people are celebrating all over the world with products from their company. These products open up possibilities never dreamed of for special days and nights, marking special life events and even making the smaller things in life feel magical.
Participation in the World Spirits Award was magical: there was double gold for Tanqueray No. 10 (Spirit of the Year 2016), gold for Gordon’s London Dry Gin and Tanqueray London Dry Gin, as well as silver for Tanqueray Rangpur.

Lambay Irish Whiskey Company: A family alliance in the whiskey world
The Lambay Irish Whiskey Company (LIWC) celebrated its market debut in 2018 as an independent enterprise based in Dublin. It evolved from the cooperation between Camus (Cyril Camus), the worldwide leading cognac producer in family ownership, and the Revelstoke Trust of the Baring family (Alexander Baring). The two gentlemen have a common history and came together to create a unique Irish whiskey. This relationship between Camus and the Baring Revelstoke Trust is inspired and named after the Irish isle of Lambay, which sits off the coast of Dublin and is a private nature reserve which has been in the Baring family since 1904.
Today, the brand is represented in 35 markets worldwide, in duty free shops and online. LIWC manager Jean-David Costerg is confident of future success because the unique brand history of both companies allows them to reach a new generation of whiskey consumers who are looking for exclusive, authentic, handcrafted products, positioned in the premium price category. Lambay Whiskey stands for a special category of Irish whiskey with a unique cognac barrel finish. The portfolio comprises Lambay Small Batch Blend, Lambay Single Malt, Lambay Malt and Lambay Single Cask Strength.
Lambay Single Malt matures on the isle of Lambay. There, the casks are exposed to the influence of the fresh sea air in a warehouse (‘The Sea Cask Room’) to bring a high salt content and maritime notes to the whiskey. After being blended on the mainland, the whiskeys are rounded off with the island’s Trinity Well water before being bottled.

Bobby’s Gin: Dutch courage with Indonesian spirit
This family business is based in Schiedam in the south of the Netherlands, which is well known for its centuries-old tradition of distilling. The company was named after Jacobus ‘Bobby’ Alfons. He skilfully blended Dutch jenever with a Pinang Raci blend of spices that reminded him of his homeland of Naku on the Moluccan spice island of Ambon. His grandson Sebastiaan started his professional career in the drinks industry and felt it was time to create something new that came from the heart. With help from his family, he reconstructed this traditional recipe with its characteristic flavour. Following the market launch in February 2014, his brother David officially joined the company.
Bobby’s Schiedam Dry Gin spans a flavour-packed bridge between East and West, stands for Dutch courage, and is enriched with Indonesian spirit. It is a fresh and spicy combination of juniper, fennel seeds, coriander and rose hips as well as lemongrass, cloves, cinnamon and cubeb pepper. Bobby’s Jenever combines lemongrass, ginger, cardamom, cubeb pepper with juniper and malt brandy as a bready, nutty base. Pinang Raci celebrates the traditional flavours of Ambon in a modern Schiedam Dry Gin, characterised by daun salam, turmeric and galangal, supported by ginger, sweet orange, cloves, cinnamon, lemongrass, cubeb pepper, coriander and juniper.
At the World Spirits Award 2025, there was Gold for Bobby’s Schiedam Jenever, and Silver for Bobby’s Schiedam Dry Gin and Bobby’s Schiedam Gin Pinang Raci.
