Macon, Georgia (May 1, 2024) - Longleaf Distilling Co., a burgeoning name in the craft spirits industry, proudly announces two Double Gold Medal awards at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This impressive achievement comes just one year after opening our doors. Our Navy Strength Southland American Gin and our Alba Thistle Liqueur each received an impressive 97 Point rating from a panel of 70 respected industry experts.

“This recognition highlights our commitment to quality and innovation right from the start.” said Will Robinson, Co-Owner and Distiller at Longleaf Distilling Co. “It's an honor to represent Georgia on such a prestigious stage.”

The San Francisco World Spirits Competition sets high standards, with nearly 5,500 spirits competing this year alone. To receive a Double Gold, a spirit must be unanimously awarded a gold medal by all 70 judges, a feat signifying a near-perfect product.
