ARC Spirits adds to recent international acclaim with platinum and double gold medals at the SIP Awards; platinum and best-in-class honors at the Ascott Awards.

The awards keep coming for Full Circle Craft Distillers with back-toback top honors bestowed on its line of handcrafted artisanal spirits at two recent international spirit competitions. At the SIP Awards, the world’s largest consumer competition, ARC Botanical Gin won a platinum medal, the highest rated award while ARC Barrel Reserve Gin and ARC Lava Rock Vodka both garnered double gold medals. And at the inaugural Ascott Awards, Archipelago Barrel Reserve Gin received the best-inclass award in the flavored gin category along with a platinum distinction.

Over 1,100 spirits brands from 49 countries were entered in this year’s SIP Awards, a record-breaking achievement, managed remotely from Irvine, California with judging by a panel of over 200 consumer judges, evaluating each spirit in a double blind manner.

The prestigious Ascot Awards is an international spirits competition, created by Wall Street Journal best-selling author, spirits personality and veteran tasting judge Fred Minnick, who along with a veritable who’s who of distillers, writers, bartenders, bar owners, spirit mavens and industry icons, come together as the American Spirits Council of Tasters to judge and honor the best spirits in the market.

Full Circle’s award-winning lineup of artisanal spirits are authentically handcrafted on a German CARL copper still at its state-ofthe-art, family-owned distillery in Calamba, Laguna in the Philippines.
