Double Gold Award Winners at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2024
05.08.2024 | News
We are thrilled to announce that The CHOYA From the Barrel has been awarded the prestigious Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2024. The carefully crafted Umeshu is matured for 3 years before aging in French oak casks for another 2 years. Rich and complex flavors, with notes of almond from the pit and flesh of the Ume fruit, and a smoky and luxurious bouquet from the cask.
In addition to The CHOYA From the Barrel, both The CHOYA Aged 3 Years Extra Fruit and The CHOYA Extra Years have also proudly received Double Gold Medals at the SFWSC 2024. Although not currently available in the US market, this recognition underscores the exceptional quality upheld by CHOYA's products.
