The Bond and The Bond: Eternal Both Win Gold at ADI’s 2024 International Spirits Competition

BARDSTOWN, Ky.-- The American Distilling Institute announced that independent bottler Vincero Spirits’ inaugural bourbons, The Bond and The Bond: Eternal, each won Gold Medals in the 2024 International Spirits Competition.

“We're extremely proud to have been awarded Gold on both our inaugural bourbons, The Bond and The Bond: Eternal,” says Master Blender Logan Bechanan. “We’re honored to be recognized on such a prestigious platform, and we believe this is a testament to our team's dedication, hard work, and passion for whiskey. When I began developing these blends, I wanted to create exceptional products that would resonate with the palates of both spirits enthusiasts and general consumers alike. By way of our four-barrel artisan blends, we believe that we’re able to create truly unique expressions of the spirit that showcase the artisanship of whiskey. We are grateful to receive this recognition, as it inspires us to continue delivering excellence in every bottle.”
