NEW YORK - AussieJournal -- Espanita Tequila Company, LLC is pleased to announce that Espanita® Añejo Artisanal Tequila and Espanita Reposado Artisanal Tequila each received Gold medals from the USA Spirits Rating Competition, which took place in San Francisco in October 2020. "Winning a Gold medal at the USA Spirits Ratings Competition is the ultimate seal of approval, showing that Espanita® is a high-quality tequila with broad consumer appeal," says Marina Wilson, President, Espanita Tequila Company, LLC.

The judging panel consisted of spirits industry experts with extensive commercial buying expertise, including professionals from leading retail chains, wholesalers, distributors, specialty retailers and casual and fine dining establishments. The inclusion of so many high-profile judges ensured that spirits awarded medals in competition were those with a high degree of commercial appeal. Spirits were evaluated across three different criteria (Quality, Value and Packaging) and assigned scores on a 100-point basis. The goal of the USA Spirits Ratings competition is to find, evaluate and award spirits that successfully score well across each of these three major scoring criteria.

Wilson adds: "Espanita Artisanal Tequila has been designed with a motto "affordable luxury without compromise" and we are really excited that Espanita scored so highly not only for the taste but for its packaging and value as well.
