She was joined by: Matt Chambers, co‐founder of the Whisky for Everyone blog, and the North London Whisky Club; and Angelo Sparvoli, head bartender at St James Bar at Sofitel St James. The grandson of an Ethiopian slave called Hannibal, who rose to become an adviser to Peter the Great, Pushkin was the first Russian to make a living from his writing. Four Gold medals were awarded in this round, and one Silver – all of which went to Belvedere products. Among the Gold winners was another flavoured expression, Belvedere Organic Infusions Lemon & Basil, which delivered “lots of lemon on the nose, with some light pesto”. First of all, Cardi Bay Vodka received a Master medal for its “delicate nose with notes of vanilla and coconut”. “An easy tipple for a bartender to make tasty drinks with,” noted Pamplin. A few ingredients will bring that sweet pumpkin taste into your drinks, and they become relatively easy to find come fall. Some recipes use pumpkin ingredients commonly found in food, including pumpkin butter, purée, and seeds, and pumpkin pie filling or spice.

In the Eastern Europe round two medals were awarded: a Gold award went to “vibrant, fresh” Kreskova Vodka, while a Silver was given to Von Est Sangaste Rye Organic Estonian Vodka. Koskenkorva Vodka Original showed all the qualities needed to bag a Master medal in the Scandinavia segment. Carruthers said the vodka was “extremely drinkable”, and detected notes of “lemon, pine and sweetness – very smooth”. Chambers added: “Compared with the rest, it’s very classy and elegant.” Yet you don't have to look very hard to find Pushkin the Supporter of Autocracy or Pushkin the Dissident.The four Gold medallists were Dutch Barn Vodka, Baxter Vodka, Von Est Wheat Vodka, and Altamura Distilleries Vodka. The latter expression delivered aromas of “orchard fruits” and was found to be “well balanced”. Two vodkas were viewed as deserving of Silver medals for their smooth qualities. Pushkin is primarily known as a brand of vodka, not gin. Vodka and gin are both distilled spirits, but they have distinct differences in terms of ingredients and production methods.

Louers Vodka walked away with the top award, described by Prousaefs as having: “Lemon peel and freshly cut grass on the nose. Excellent mouthfeel with very long aftertaste and a hint of bitterness at the end.” Since 1929, Pushkin Vodka has been distilled using the same recipe. With a legendary campaign by Vilim Vasata and Charles Wilp in the 1960s, Pushkin made its first strong appearance in advertising and hit the nerve of the times. Frank S. Thorn, the campaign's hero, was a man who knew how to take his own life. Vodka is commonly made by fermenting either grains or vegetables.

Gold winner Meili Vodka was described as “comforting and rich”, with “lemon rind, cacao nibs and a hint of dried vanilla” on the nose. Fellow Gold medallist The Community Spirit Vodka offered a “crisp and clean nose” and a “long and lingering finish”.Panel three comprised: chair Bernadette Pamplin, freelance drinks writer and founder of the Under the Ginfluence blog; Sara Jane Eichler, founder of the Negroni Club UK; and Alan Uresti, head of agave spirits and drinks development at Annabel’s. The Vodka – Corn heat created another Master medallist: Ignite Vodka. Twemlow found “beautiful popcorn aromas and hints of citrus”, resulting in an “amazingly smooth and balanced” vodka overall.
