Beverage Testing Institute Silver Award 2021 for Bertha's Revenge Gin
We are proud as punch that Bertha was just awarded a Silver medal by the Beverage Testing Institute.
Beverage Testing Institute (BTI) was founded in 1981 as the first international wine competition in the United States, adding beer, spirits, cider, sake, mead and more to the repertoire in 1994. Using industry-leading methodology co-developed with Cornell University and a one-of-a-kind approach to trade focus groups and sensory panelist recruitment, BTI’s evaluations are so much more than a competition. Beverage Testing Institute has become the most comprehensive and reliable source for alcohol beverage product testing and professional reviews in the world.
Thank you so much! We are delighted.
