Finnish Kaiho Vodka was chosen as the best in the world in the vodka & tonic category of the International Wine and Spirits competition in Britain.
Turku distillery’s vodka was awarded a trophy in the vodka & tonic series, so the best Vodka & Tonic drink vodka of the moment comes from Raisio.
– In the last decade, the games were dominated by vodka tonics made from flavored vodka, but this decade has started with the rise of unflavored ones. Now in vodka, the taste inherited from the raw materials, softness and a good balance of taste profile and alcohol are valued, CEO of Turku Distillery Tapio Järvenpää commented in the announcement.

According to him, premium vodkas are entering the tasting genre to challenge the status of cognac and whiskey, as well as the traditional GT, or gin & tonic, in mixed drinks.
Finnish alcohol has previously won the world’s best title in mixed drinks. In 2015, Kyrö Distillery’s Napue Gin won the same trophy award in the Gin & Tonic series. With the victory, Kyrö rose to world fame and a gin boom began in Finland.
Which distillery?
Turku tislaamo Oy was founded in 2021 and its production facility is located in Raisio.

What competition?
The International Wine and Spirits Competition, or IWSC, is the oldest competition in the field, founded in 1969.
It is considered one of the most significant competitions in the field.
IWSC trophies are awarded to excellent products in several different categories.
A gold medal from one’s own series does not guarantee the product a trophy-class award, but to get it, the best products are evaluated again and the award is only given to the best of the best.
