Distilled with 100% Blue Weber Agave, Weber Ranch Vodka earns top new-product honor
MUENSTER, TEXAS — August 17, 2026 — Weber Ranch 1902 Vodka, the first and only vodka made exclusively from 100% Blue Weber Agave, proudly announces it has earned the Best New Vodka award at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC), widely regarded as one of the most influential and respected spirits competitions in the world.
The award recognizes new products making a meaningful impact to their category and is given to the highest-scoring new spirit in each category. The win pairs with Weber Ranch Vodka’s Double Gold medal at the 2026 SFWSC.
Weber Ranch Vodka is crafted exclusively from mature Blue Weber Agave grown in Jalisco, Mexico. After the agave is hand-harvested and distilled in Jalisco, it is sent to the Weber Ranch Vodka Distillery in Muenster, Texas, where it is further distilled in proprietary copper pot and column stills, filtered, and bottled. This second distillation, along with the addition of water from the local Trinity Aquifer, creates Weber Ranch Vodka’s distinct character: an extraordinarily unique and clean taste profile that retains all the bright citrus notes from the agave, yet creates a velvety smooth mouthfeel unlike any other vodka.
“It takes just one taste to recognize Weber Ranch Vodka's unique aroma, velvety mouthfeel, and extremely clean finish. We owe that all to the combination of the high-quality agave and our handcrafted process. Our love and respect for Blue Weber Agave was the inspiration to create Weber Ranch Vodka, and the Best New Vodka award is a testament to how special this noble plant truly is,” said Antonio Rodriguez, Chief Brand Officer and Master Distiller for Weber Ranch Vodka.
Weber Ranch Vodka is an incredibly versatile spirit that works equally well in classic vodka cocktails as well as traditional agave-based drinks, like ranch waters and palomas. Because Weber Ranch Vodka contains just agave and water with zero additives, it is naturally 100% gluten and carb free.
