Silver at IWSC for our Flâneur!

Lahhentagge Flâneur with IWSC Silver medal

Lahhentagge Flâneur with IWSC Silver medal

Flâneur won a silver medal in the International Wine & Spirit Competition in London this week.

The competition jury gave Lahhentagge’s Flâneur 90 points out of 100 and described its taste: “" An enticing cardamon, clove and menthol aroma profile with warm ginger notes. The palate is earthy, savoury and complex with floral and cedar undertones."

Lahhentagge launched Flâneur at Estonian Drinks Festival in late 2020.

“Spirits have been successfully distilled in Estonia throughout history. We just separated alcohol from this model, ”said Maarit Pöör, the creator of the drink. 

“It is a powerful feeling how the unique tastes of Saaremaa charm even far from home. So powerful that it gives you the courage to bring new products to the market in the near future. The revolution of non-alcoholic distilled beverages, which started in the world with great momentum, is gaining more and more supporters, "Pöör said.

The IWSC sets the international benchmark for quality, standing out in the crowded world of drinks awards with hundreds of global experts – including buyers, producers, distillers, sommeliers, distributors and influencers – judging wines and spirits throughout the year.

“This silver medal is a kind of quality stamp for us, also confirming to the world that we create drinks that are among the top in the world here on the island of Saaremaa,” said Pöör.

The silver received from the IWSC is not the first international recognition that Flâneur has brought to Lahhentagge - in the spring, Estonia's top bartender Kristo Tomingas won the international cocktail competition in New York with his non-alcoholic cocktail based on Flâneur.
