The Singapore World Spirits Competition, hosted annually by the Tasting Alliance, is a prestigious event that highlights the best tipples from around the globe. Initially focused on spirits from the Asia Pacific region, the competition has since expanded its scope to include entries from all over the world. With a panel of judges predominantly from the Asia Pacific region, the competition has quickly become one of the top spirit tastings in the industry.
The Best In Show Vodka, as chosen by the 2024 Singapore panelists, hails from Oceania. Pluto Vodka, from the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, emerged victorious with its 80-proof liquid crafted from 100% organic Australian sugarcane. This unique ingredient undergoes a cool fermentation process and a 10x distillation, resulting in a smooth and expressive final product. Not only does Pluto Vodka possess a subtle sweetness, but it also boasts a rich body that hints at notes of coconut cream, making it a standout choice for the judges in Singapore.
Pluto Spirits has garnered recognition beyond the Singapore World Spirits Competition, having been awarded a Master Medal at the Global Vodka Masters and winning the Best Vodka accolade at the Tasting Australia Spirit Awards 2023. Priced at approximately $68 AUD (around $46 USD), Pluto Vodka is produced without any additives, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality and purity. For an additional $10, customers in Australia can have the vodka shipped directly to their doorstep, although distribution in the United States is not yet available. With its recent acclaim and growing popularity, it is likely that Pluto Spirits will soon expand its reach to include American consumers.
In addition to its award-winning vodka, Pluto Spirits also produces a gin and a selection of flavorful rums, promising a diverse range of spirits to enjoy. As the brand continues to make waves in the spirits industry, it is worth keeping an eye out for their upcoming releases and potential expansion into new markets. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest champions crowned at the Singapore World Spirits Competition, as we uncover the next standout spirits making their mark on the global stage.
