Big win for Juno at Korea Wine & Spirits Awards

Juno Vesta Coffee Vodka from Taranaki’s BeGin Distilling has won a Grand Award at the 2025 Korea Wine & Spirits Awards.

The KWSA is one of South Korea’s most esteemed competitions. It has been running since 2014 and highlights global and domestic liquor brands with more than 1,000 product entries from more than 225 companies.

The accolade follows a recent win at the Singapore SOCraft awards where Juno Vesta Coffee Vodka was the only vodka to be recognised for both flavour quality and for the distillery’s sustainability values and activities.

Crafted in collaboration with Ozone Coffee Roasters, Juno Vesta Coffee Vodka has rich notes of blackberry, raspberry, and dark chocolate.

“Winning at KWSA is an incredible honour,” says Jo James, co-founder at BeGin Distilling. “It reinforces our passion for crafting world-class spirits that celebrate bold flavours and exceptional ingredients.”

Dave James of BeGin Distilling was in South Korea to accept the award, which comes as the company’s Goddess Range of spirits continues to expand internationally.

Juno Vesta Coffee Vodka will soon be available in South Korea as BeGin Distilling looks to grow its presence in Asia after initially launching in Singapore.
