Using objective and unbiased professional criteria, the panel of judges tasted a range of liqueurs across fifteen separate liqueur categories.  After tallying the scores, medals were awarded based on the evaluations.  Double Gold Medals are typically only awarded when the entire panel of judges unanimously award a product a Gold Medal, resulting in a Double Gold rating!  Rivulet was judged “Best Liqueur” and “Best of Class,” which is an impressive feat, considering the number of liqueur entered across the fifteen liqueur categories.

Many consumers have commented that Rivulet is the finest, most authentic and luxurious nut liqueur they have tasted.  Rivulet is fortunate enough to have been awarded its first Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2014.  Since then, Rivulet has won over 110 prestigious medals around the world, including Double Gold, Triple Gold, Double Platinum, and Consumers’ Choice awards.  On December 8, 2021, Rivulet was featured on NBC’s The Today Show (link) where host Al Roker declared, “This is a game changer…like pecan pie in a glass!”
