Rhode Island's Sons of Liberty Spirits Doubles Up at 2015 Drammie Awards

Sons of Liberty Spirits Company has brought two Drammie Awards back to the Ocean State with victories in the categories of 2015 Best Whiskey Distillery and Best Whiskey Packaging (UPRISING American Single Malt).

The Drammie Awards, presented by ForWhiskeyLovers.com, encourages whiskey enthusiasts to share which products from within the whiskey industry they did or didn’t like over the past year and puts the power of recognition in the hands of the consumer. Sons of Liberty was nominated in a total of four categories in the 2015 Drammie Awards including Best Whiskey Distillery Tour, Best Whiskey Distillery, Best Whiskey Packaging (UPRISING American Single Malt) and Best New Whiskey of 2014 (Battle Cry American Single Malt).

“We are honored to have taken two of four Drammie awards back to South Kingstown this year,” said Sons of Liberty Owner, Mike Reppucci. “The voting for The Drammies is put strictly into the hands of the consumers and when a smaller, local distillery beats out other internationally-recognized and distributed brands, it speaks volumes to our loyal fan base and we cannot thank them enough.”

Despite being distributed in only Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Sons of Liberty won Best Whiskey Distillery, prevailing over acclaimed international distilleries including: Balcones Distillery (Waco, TX); Glenfarclas Distillery (Scotland); Edradour Distillery (Scotland) and High West Distillery (Park City, UT). Sons of Liberty finds itself in good company, as previous years’ winners of the category included internationally renowned distilleries Glenmorangie (Scotland, 2014); Bruichladdich (Islay, 2013) and Laphroaig (Islay, 2012).

The Rhode Island-based distillery also trumped Highland Park (Scotland); The Girvan Patent Still (UK); Tin Cup Whiskey (Denver, CO) and Few Spirits Bourbon (Chicago, IL) for its Best Whiskey Packaging win.

Sons of Liberty continues to establish itself as one of the industry’s fastest growing and most innovative producers of American Craft Whiskey. Sons of Liberty was very recently named 2015 Best Flavored Whiskey in North America by Whisky Magazine’s World Whiskies Awards for its Hop Flavored Whiskey. Sons of Liberty’s Hop Flavored Whiskey is part of the first-ever, seasonal line of whiskies and its seasonal counterpart, Pumpkin Spice Whiskey, took home a World’s Best award from last year’s World Whiskies Awards in the Flavored Whiskey Category.
