LOS ANGELES – A cherry-flavored vodka labeled by one the adult industry’s most enduring brands has won two medals from the International Wine and Spirits Competition.

Penthouse Libido Libations cherry-flavored vodka garnered the Silver Outstanding Medal for exceptional taste and the Bronze Medal in recognition of the vodka’s eye-catching packaging.

Penthouse Libido Libations are the first products of their kind on the market. Created for the male and female drinker, the two distinct formulas feature a proprietary blend of aphrodisiac herbs and cherry flavor encased in distinct blue- and red-painted bottles. They products are craft-distilled and imported from The Melchers Group, a 175-year-old specialty distillery in Holland.

Penthouse Libido Libations may be served over ice, mixed with fruit juice or topped with lemon-lime soda.

Established in 1969, IWSC was the first competition of its kind set up to seek out, reward and promote the world’s best wines, spirits and liqueurs. The IWSC currently receives entries from approximately 90 countries. Its awards are recognized as global badges of quality.

Judges are selected for their knowledge and experience in order to ensure products are evaluated fairly and with consumer expectations in mind. The IWSC is the only competition of its kind that conducts full-blind taste tests followed by an extensive chemical analysis.

“It is a true honor to have one of the Penthouse spirits recognized by the prestigious International Wine and Spirits Competition,” said Penthouse Director of Global Licensing Amanda Byrd. “Our goal with the executive team at Inland Beverage was to launch innovative, world-class liquors that were of the utmost quality [and] represented the essence of Penthouse. This recognition from the IWSC solidifies for Penthouse that initiative.”

In addition to Libido Libations, the collection of Penthouse-branded spirits includes a six-times-distilled Dutch vodka, a white-oak-barrel-aged Canadian Whisky and another first of its kind, a whiskey tequila fusion.

Penthouse Spirits are available in Tennessee, Indiana, New York, South Dakota, West Virginia, Montana and Georgia. Byrd said more states are added weekly.
