Wenzel Whiskey Strikes Gold and Silver at the 2024 San Francisco Spirit Awards! 

COVINGTON, KY - MAY 1st, 2024

Located in downtown Covington, Wenzel Whiskey has been resurrecting Kentucky's storied bourbon history in a brick building built in 1873 that was used as a rectifier (non-producing distiller) prior to prohibition, and its latest award-winning spirits exemplify this dedication of ‘Blend Your Own History’ as it proudly announces its recognition at the prestigious 2024 San Francisco Spirit Awards. Celebrating a momentous achievement, Wenzel Whiskey garnered accolades and secured a Gold Medal for its Barrel Proof Wheated Bourbon, along with two distinguished Silver Medals for its Rye Whiskey and the 150th Anniversary Release crafted in partnership with Molly Wellmann, both of which are barrel proof.

The San Francisco Spirit Awards, renowned as one of the most esteemed competitions in the spirits industry, rigorously evaluates entries based on quality, taste, and overall excellence. Wenzel Whiskey's success in securing multiple medals underscores its unwavering commitment to blending superior handcrafted spirits that captivate the taste profile of its patrons.

"We are immensely proud to have our products recognized on such a prestigious platform," said Austin Dunbar, Partner at Wenzel Whiskey. "These awards are a testament to our team's hard work and passion for crafting exceptional whiskeys – and personally love that we’re able to put Covington in the conversation when it comes to producing world-class spirits." The San Francisco Spirit awards come at a significant time for Wenzel Whiskey, as the distillery continues to build on its accolades from winning earlier this year at the World Whiskey Awards for ‘Best Blended Limited Release’, for their Wheated Two expression. Wenzel has also broken ground on their own, independent producing distillery and event facility that will be operational later this year.

Wenzel Whiskey invites bourbon lovers and experience enthusiasts alike to visit their distillery to blend firsthand the process and passion that goes into every bottle. For more information about Wenzel Whiskey and to book your own blending experience, please visit www.wenzelwhiskey.com.
