This latest achievement occurred at the famed New York
International Spirits Competition where Till Vodka was honored as
“Kansas Vodka of the Year.” Results of the competition, which
was held in the fall, were released early this year.
Close to 600 distilled spirits from around the world were
entered in the event, which consisted of a blind tasting by a panel
of experienced judges. Award criteria were also based on
category and price factors.
"Made using the finest quality Kansas wheat, grown by
hardworking Kansas farmers, Till American Wheat Vodka represents
the passion, hard work and honest values of the heartland from
which it comes,” said Andy Mansinne, vice president for
brands. “Distilled by the proud men and women of Atchison,
Kansas, the result is a uniquely smooth premium vodka.”
Shanae Randolph, MGP beverage brands director, stated, “We
are highly excited about the Kansas Vodka of the Year award, as
well as the previous awards that Till Vodka has received.
Each speaks volumes about the expertise and dedication that go into
making it. This level of recognition is not only significant,
but very meaningful in terms of how rapidly Till Vodka is earning
distinction for its remarkable qualities.”

spring, Till Vodka had already received five prestigious
