SIP Consumers' Choice (2024, 2025 & 2026)
Issuer: SIP Awards, 2024, 2025, and 2026 cycles
SIP's Consumers' Choice goes only to brands that place in its competition for 2 or more consecutive years, judged double-blind by everyday consumers tasting unbranded samples. The panel never knows whose product they're tasting. Still Branch has earned it 3 straight years: 2024, 2025, and 2026. Same result every year. No industry influence.

Seven consumer awards prove the drink lands. SIP is the only international spirits competition where everyday consumers evaluate unbranded samples in a double-blind tasting: no industry influence, no brand recognition. A Double Gold in 2023, a Platinum and Consumers' Choice in 2024, a Gold and Consumers' Choice in 2025, and a Double Gold and Consumers' Choice in 2026. Four consecutive years, the same panel, the same result.
Three industry awards prove the trade respects it. Proof Awards (2023), Beverage Testing Institute (2024), and New York World Wine & Spirits (2023) all put drinks in front of professional buyers, distributors, sommeliers, and retail decision-makers. The shelf-pickers and bar-stockers agreed.
Four years of repeat wins prove the quality holds. Anyone can have a good year. Earning a SIP Double Gold in 2023, a Platinum in 2024, a Gold and Consumers' Choice in 2025, and another Double Gold and Consumers' Choice in 2026 is a different kind of statement. The recipe is consistent. The panels keep agreeing.
