Korean whiskey wins top prize at global competition, receives high praise at two competitions - Korean media

Ki One Whisky Distillery has announced that its single malt whisky, Ki One, will be selected as the winner of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, one of the world's three major spirits competitions.
The winner was their "Signature" whisky, which is aged in sherry and wine casks.
The balanced taste of the sweet flavor and Korean spices that were created won the judges' praise. Along with "Signature," "Unicorn" was also named in the "Double Gold" category.
The Double Gold award is given to wines that receive unanimous praise from the judges. This award was given at the International Wine and Spirits Awards in September.
This is the first time in two months that we have achieved this feat since winning the top prize at the International Whisky Competition (IWSC).
This confirms the potential of Korean whiskey as a "national whiskey." The fact that Korean whiskey has received high praise one after another in a short period of time at prestigious international competitions shows that Korean whiskey is beginning to have a competitive edge in the global market.
It means that,” he said.
