Los Angeles Invitational Spirits Challenge

Great Women Spirits is proud to have participated in the Los Angeles Invitational Wine & Spirits Challenge, a prestigious event designed to spotlight the world's premier wine and spirits producers. This competition, curated with expertise from Los Angeles' top beverage professionals, featured a distinguished panel of judges from across the industry, recognizing excellence and innovation. Join us as we celebrate our achievements and share the journey behind our award-winning spirits.

The Countess Walewska

Crafted from the finest Idaho Russet potatoes and proofed with pristine Napa Valley spring water, our Countess Walewska Potato Vodka has been awarded Double Gold and named Best Vodka, with a competition high of 98 points.

Judges described it as "Classical, balanced, elegant," a nod to its’ unique blend of traditional potato vodka charm with a hint of New World flair. Our vodka embodies a journey from Idaho's soil to the California coast, offering a symphony of slightly sweet cocoa, a whisper of brine, pepper, and a creamy, honeyed tinish that's unmistakably our own.

Ada Lovelace Gin

Ada Lovelace Gin, embodying the essence of a California twist on an English tradition, proudly received a Gold medal, scoring 93 points.

Notes from the judges included “Awesome nose, citrus. Complex yet easy drinking”. Steeped in the botanical bill of a London dry with a unique Californian flair, our gin features balanced aromas of Italian juniper berries, lavender, and Meyer citrus blossoms, leading to a taste journey from full-bodied Turkish delight and orris root to a candied ginger finish.
