Kaffevän Coffee Liqueur was awarded a Bronze medal in the Coffee Liqueur Category, impressing the judges with its depth of flavor and notes of chocolate and caramel.

We started this company to make whiskey, and winning Gold the first time out is a sweet reward for all of our effort," said Lars Hubbard, President and Chief Palate Officer of Appalachian Gap. Chuck Burkins, Vice President and Distiller, added, "These spirits, like all of our products, are things we are incredibly proud to distill and sell. Winning two medals is like a dream come true."
