Of all the products entered into the Bartenders' Brand Awards 2025, these were the top five-scoring products?
So, of the many hundreds of products that entered the BBAs, which did best? Well, this year the lofty title of Supreme Champion went to Disaronno’s Sagamore Cask Strength, which scored golds across the board on its way to a herculean 90/100.
Just one point off it was the classic bar brand Ferrand Dry Curaçao. This liqueur was the best-tasting product in the entire BBAs this year. In third was Three Cents Cherry Soda, which was the best-tasting and overall best-performing in its soft drinks and mixers division.
Ukiyo Japanese Rice vodka – again our best-tasting vodka and that category’s champion – came in fourth, with a clean sweep of golds.
Completing the top five was Bottlegreen Raspberry Cordial. If this isn’t a product you’ve thought to use behind the bar – think again. Under blind conditions, it struck gold. Its Elderflower did so too, coming in eighth overall.
Elsewhere in the top 10, gin champion Boatyard Double finished sixth and the runner-up in liqueurs, Mouse Kingdom Strawberry, in seventh. Bottlegreen Elderflower was followed by Monin White Chocolate syrup in ninth, which scored 46/50, as did Everleaf Forest in 10th. A word also goes out to Funkin Triple Sec Liqueur which took our top score in value for money. Black Tears Dry Spiced was named best designed.
