Donner-Peltier Distillersof Thibodaux won gold medals for each of the three spirits the company entered in the World Spirits Association convention in Klagenfurt, Austria.
Donner-Peltier takes gold at Austrian spirits convention.
Oryza Vodka scored a 91, Rougaroux Full Moon Dark Rum scored 92 and Sugarshine, a clear rum, earned a 94 and won the clear rum category outright.
“We were only in business for a month or two when the submission deadline rolled around,” Beth Donner, company president, said. “Our hope was that we might receive a medal, maybe two, but to win three medals with three products, and have them be all gold, well, that was really the best suprise I’ve had in quite a while.”
The distillery plans two new products in coming months, Rougaroux 13 Pennies Praline Rum and Oryza Gin, and is planning to release a new whiskey, LA1, later this year.
