Winning a medal at the Spirits Selection by CMB has to be truly deserved, and a real credit to the products that achieve it. This medal can be a turning point for a product/brand story.
I took my role as a judge extremely seriously because, yes, it is a responsibility, and I owe great respect to all the producers entered in this competition.
Jury table 25 :
Four women from Bulgaria, Greece, England, France - One man from Mexico. A diverse panel that generated some great discussions.
The highlight this year : a competition held in the heart of the agave landscapes, in the city of Tequila itself. The trip began in Guadalajara, then boarded the Tequila Express to Tequila City, where we crossed UNESCO-listed agave landscapes, ending in the Sierra Madre Oriental and Puerto Vallarta. A week of professional, personal, and cultural enrichment.
A huge thank you to Ulric Nijs, Baudouin Havaux, Carlos, Erika and and the entire CMB team.
