The Hardware
2024 SIP Awards Platinum
Issuer: SIP Awards (Spirits International Prestige), 2024 cycle

SIP Awards Double Gold (2023 & 2026) + Gold (2025)
Issuer: SIP Awards, 2023 & 2026 Double Gold + 2025 Gold
Winning Double Gold in 2023, a Gold in 2025, and Double Gold again in 2026 across three separate competition cycles proves the recipe isn't a one-time fluke. The same consumer panel, tasting blind, kept ranking Still Branch at the top.

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.

2024 Beverage Testing Institute Gold
Issuer: Beverage Testing Institute (BTI), 2024
BTI's panel reviews spirits and mixers for a living and scores them blind. A Gold here is craft confirmed by professional tasters before a single buyer weighs in.

New York World Wine & Spirits Competition — Silver (2023) + Bronze (2024)
Issuer: New York World Wine & Spirits Competition (NYWSC), 2023 and 2024 panels
New York is the most prestigious tasting in the business. Judged by the city's trade buyers, sommeliers, and spirits professionals, it sets the bar the rest of the industry follows. Still Branch medaled there two years running: Silver in 2023, Bronze in 2024. These are the insiders who shape what lands on retail shelves.

2023 L.A. Spirits Awards Silver
Issuer: L.A. Spirits Awards, 2023 competition
L.A. judges blind, in small panels, and scores every entry against the standard for its category rather than against the bottle next to it. No brand names, no field to game. Their Silver is reserved for spirits they call refined and complex.

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.
Seven industry awards prove the trade respects it. New York is the most prestigious tasting in the business, and Still Branch medaled there twice: Silver in 2023 and Bronze in 2024. Proof Awards handed out Double Gold in back-to-back years, 2023 and 2024. The Beverage Testing Institute added a Gold in 2024, the L.A. Spirits Awards a Silver in 2023, and the Best Spirits Competition its top medal in 2026 with a score of 91 points. Every one of these puts the drink 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 Proof Double Gold in back-to-back years, 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.
