Baron Tequila, the industry’s newest premiere product, is celebrating accolades and awards just in time for the spring/summer season.
NEW YORK -
(EINPresswire via NewMediaWire) - May 23, 2014 - According to Master Tequilier David Ruiz, of Baron Tequila (www.baronspirits.com), the newest, ultra-premium tequila handcrafted in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico and certified gluten free and kosher, the spirit is turning heads at competitions across the country. 
“We embarked on a two-year tequila fact-finding mission to create the category's next premier product,” Ruiz says. "At Baron, family is very important to our vision. That’s why we partnered with the family-owned and operated Ansan Distillery, with 20-years of experience overseeing each step of the tequila making process - from growing and harvesting the agave to the triple distillation and bottling.”Ruiz says that Baron and its owner, Jana Khaimoff, spare no expense or amount of time to make Baron Tequila “the epitome of quality spirits,” and it shows; A few months ago, at the 2014 San Francisco World Spirits Competition at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco, Baron’s Platinum Blanco Tequila walked away with a gold medal.
This is particularly important, according to Ruiz, because this year’s event was the largest in its 14-year history, with a total of 1,474 entries. Spirit entries were evaluated by 39 of the finest palates from the spirits industry including spirit experts from noted restaurants and hotels, well-known spirit journalists from major national media, spirit buyers for large purveyors, and spirit consultants.
“Baron has achieved a uniquely, clean smooth taste through a natural process maximizing the power of the agave itself,” Ruiz explains. “After ten years of growth, only the best parts are harvested for production and then slow cooked at a low heat allowing for all of the sugars to caramelize. Hand-guided pot-still distillation cooks off all of the impurities leaving only the heart.”
According to Ruiz, because Baron is distilled three times, it results in an extract that gets cleaner and cleaner, ultimately achieving a zero-zero taste profile, eliminating any bad odor and bitter taste. Unlike larger industrial producers, Baron is able to achieve a pure taste without the use of glycerin or other additives.
In addition to winning a gold medal at the 2014 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Baron received Very Good. Strong Recommendation a score of 88 in the Ultimate Beverage Challenge and 91 from Wine Enthusiast , whose primary goal is to generate a new platinum standard of trustworthiness, integrity, reliability, and, most important, meaningful and relevant results to international beverage competitions in order to recognize the highest degree of product quality.
“We are proud and humbled to have earned these accolades from some of the most important individuals in the industry,” Ruiz concluded.
First unveiled in 2013, Baron Premium Tequila is organic, gluten free, kosher tequila that exemplifies small batch superiority. Handcrafted in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico, Baron Tequila is the brainchild of founder Jana Khaimof and her desire to build a business for her children after battling cancer. She teamed up with the family-owned and operated Ansan Distillery where 20-years of experience oversees each step of the process – from growing and harvesting the agave to the triple distillation and bottling.
