Old Glory Distilling Co. of Clarksville, Tennessee, earned two awards for its locally-made spirits at the 2024 American Spirits Council of Tasters (ASCOT) Awards. The distillery’s Bottled-in-Bond Tennessee Whiskey was honored with a Double Platinum award, and its Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon secured a Gold award.
The ASCOT Awards, an international spirits competition founded by renowned spirits personality and veteran tasting judge Fred Minnick, is celebrated for its rigorous judging process. Old Glory’s accolades were earned in a blind tasting competition, pitting their products against some of the world’s top spirits. Old Glory received top marks from judges on appearance, aroma, taste and finish.
“We are incredibly proud to receive such prestigious honors at the ASCOT Awards Competing against some of the most renowned names in the industry and coming out with this recognition is a testament to the dedication of our entire team,” said Matt Cunningham, founder of Old Glory Distilling Co. “Our Bottled-in-Bond Tennessee Whiskey and Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon are products of our passion and commitment to quality, and these awards validate all the hard work we’ve put into perfecting our spirits.”
These latest achievements come on the heels of Old Glory having received two gold medal awards at the American Craft Spirits Association’s Annual Judging of Craft Spirits. Old Glory also recently began distributing their award-winning bourbon to the Greater Nashville area, with plans to expand this distribution in key markets across Tennessee by the end of 2024.
