As we celebrate our first year in operation, we are excited to announce yet another award for Hayner whiskey. Hayner Bourbon just won a SILVER medal at the 2022 San Francisco Spirits Competition! The San Francisco Spirits Competition is the pinnacle of spirits competitions and to receive any medal is an honor.  This Silver Medal adds to Hayner Bourbon’s collection of a GOLD from the 2021 John Barleycorn Awards and a SILVER medal from the 2021 New York World Wine and Spirits Competition. 

​

Hayner Rye was also took home a SILVER Medal at the 2022 San Francisco Spirits Competition! Hayner Rye recently won a DOUBLE GOLD, the highest award given, at the 2021 John Barleycorn Awards.

​

These blind judging competitions are considered the most respected judging events in the USA. Medals are only awarded to the best whiskeys in their category. It’s an honor to win these medals with the first two Hayner whiskeys released in over 100 years.  It truly does taste good to be back!
