From our distillery in Kamień Poland and headquarters in Hadley Massachusetts, Valley Vodka, Inc. is proud to announce that our original V-One Vodka has earned its third “Double Gold” medal, at the Warsaw Spirits Competition this past weekend.
The Warsaw Spirits Competition is in its fifth year. This year the number of entries and producers was record-breaking, there were hundreds of alcoholic beverages from over 32 countries. In the most competitive category, unflavored vodka (in the wheat/spelt/barley category), V-One earned the Double God and the score of 93.14.
“This was our third year entering the Warsaw Spirits Competition and it is our third Double Gold Medal. To receive such a high rating at such a prestigious tasting, in the birthplace of vodka, is amazing. Poland has over a 700-year history with vodka production. It is like creating a champagne and winning best sparkling wine in France,” says Paul Kozub, owner and founder of V-One Vodka. “To think of where I started, from basement of my house with just $6,000 and a dream, now have own farm-to-glass distillery in Poland and to keep winning these awards is beyond my wildest expectations.”
At the age of 27, Paul Kozub started crafting vodka in the basement of his Hadley, MA home. He started this business to honor his recently deceased Polish grandfather and entrepreneurial father. Two years later, he took his recipe to Poland where it has been crafting his vodka since 2005. In the summer of 2019 Valley Vodka, Inc. completed of a multi-million dollar purchase and 12,000 square-foot expansion of the company’s own distillery in Kamień, Poland, about two hours southeast of the capital Warsaw and just a few miles from the birthplace of vodka.
