FLIRT Vodka Ranks Among the Best in the World

The iconic brand won gold medals at the Spirits Business Vodka Masters and Travel Retail Masters 2026

The iconic brand in VP Brands International’s portfolio—FLIRT vodka—won two gold awards from some of the most prestigious competitions in the spirits industry: The Vodka Masters 2026 and The Travel Retail Masters 2026, organized by the authoritative international publication The Spirits Business. This achievement is yet another international recognition of FLIRT's quality and its competitiveness on the global stage. In total, the brand holds 28 medals from international competitions.

Black Ram also put in a strong performance at the same competitions, with the whisky securing a silver medal at The Travel Retail Masters 2026.

Both competitions are part of the Global Spirits Masters Competitions—an international series of blind tastings hosted by The Spirits Business. During evaluation, products are blind-tasted without the panel knowing the manufacturer or brand, keeping the focus strictly on the beverage's actual quality. The judging panel consists of leading specialists from the spirits industry. The Spirits Business is an international trade publication dedicated to the spirits sector with an audience of over 50,000 industry professionals. The achievements of FLIRT and Black Ram will be featured in the September issue of The Spirits Business.
