Global Brand Ambassador and Master Taster Markku Raittinen from Finlandia - is now on the Panel of Judges for 2012 International Spirits Challenge.

This is a highly coveted competition (one of, if not, the world's finest) and puts Markku in the highest percentile of worldwide spirit professionals. This makes him one of the world's most coveted and highest ranking vodka professionals - as most of the board of judges come from whisky/ey, rum and cognac backgrounds.

Just another reason why Finlandia Vodka is respected as one of the highest quality vodkas in the world.

The International Spirits Challenge is the most authoritative, respected and influential spirits competition in the world. The ISC has evolved over recent years to recognise four key areas of the industry; Tasting, Design & Packaging, Marketing and Retailer Awards.

2012 - Now in its 17th year, the ISC is the premier event in promoting outstanding quality spirits from across the globe.

The competition is founded on a rigorous and independent judging process, which serves to encourage the high calibre of spirits, designs and campaigns entered into the competition each year. Receiving more than 1,000 entries from nearly 70 countries worldwide makes the ISC a truly global competition. It is supported by most of the world's leading spirits producers as the international standard for quality and excellence.

Winning an ISC award is indeed an impressive achievement for any spirit that passes the scrupulous blind assessment of our experienced panel of specialist judges.

Rewarding quality, celebrating excellence.
