AMSTERDAM and MUMBAI:– D’YAVOL VORTEX has won Gold at the International Wine & Spirits Awards (IWSA) 2024, adding to the portfolio’s expanding list of international accolades and medals.
Organized by Catavinum in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, the IWSA is known for its rigorous judging process with this year’s competition having received entries from over 2,300 spirits worldwide, further highlighting the significance of D’YAVOL’s win.
Shah Rukh Khan, Co-Founder of the collective, says, “To stand tall amongst the myriad of great expressions is a wonderful feeling. I’m glad to see D’YAVOL receiving accolades from such prestigious international awarding bodies as well as connoisseurs.”
Launched in 2024, D’YAVOL VORTEX is a malt-forward blended scotch whisky. Crafted with precision, it is a blend of single malt and single grain whiskies from Scotland’s Lowlands, Highlands, Speyside, and Islay regions. The result is a whisky with a full and complex palate, balancing rich malt flavours, sherried sweetness, and soft Islay peat. Bottled at 43.5% ABV, VORTEX is non-chill filtered and retains its authentic flavours and luxurious mouthfeel.
Adding to the list of wins, the collective’s blended malt scotch whisky, D’YAVOL INCEPTION, was also awarded the Great Gold at the IWSA. This marks consecutive gold medals for D’YAVOL’s whisky portfolio which has already garnered multiple gold medals at prestigious global competitions, including the International Spirits Challenge (ISC) and the International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC) this year.
Leti Blagoeva, Co-Founder of D’YAVOL, says, “Winning back-to-back Gold medals for our whiskies validates our commitment to producing exceptional spirits. We are grateful for this recognition and see it as an important milestone for D’YAVOL.”
