“Ten medals, spanning five distinct categories? It’s a gratifying validation,” states Carrie Ford, President and Head Distiller at Dragon’s Mouth Distillery. “Our aim was not merely to compete, but to demonstrate the breadth and depth of our craft. To be recognized across three whiskies, a spiced rum, and an agave is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail we invest in each spirit. The results speak for themselves: Dragon’s Mouth is charting a new course for craft spirits.”
Mark Lasbury, Managing Partner and Editor for Indiana On Tap, adds, “The unique judging system for The Proof Awards, and Dragon’s Mouth Distillery’s achievements in this blinded AND unblinded judging, shows that they are excelling in both product development/execution and in marketing and label development. This bodes well for Dragon Mouth’s future success, and we’re lucky to have them as an Indiana Artisan Distiller”.
