Raising a Glass to Our Production Team: More National Awards for Long Road Spirits

The results are in, and we’ve got some celebrating to do. The American Craft Spirits Association just announced the medalists for their annual competition, and Long Road walked away with six new awards!

We don’t take these lightly. This isn’t just another spirits contest. ACSA’s American Craft Spirits Competition is judged by a panel of industry experts, distillers, and professionals who know their stuff—people who don’t just hand out medals, but make you earn them. With over 1,000 of our peers across the country vying for recognition, the competition is fierce.

Winning here means something. It means that what we’re making at Long Road isn’t just good—it’s among the best. So, a huge shoutout to our production team, the crew behind every bottle and can that leaves our distillery. Their passion, precision, and commitment to craft keep us pushing boundaries and setting new standards.

This year’s medalists:

• Lavender Lemonade RTD – Silver
• Nitro Espresso Martini RTD – Bronze
• Original Aquavit – Bronze
• MICHIGIN – Silver
• Amaro Pazzo – Bronze
• Raspberry Liqueur – Silver

Every one of these spirits tells a story—of Michigan ingredients, of meticulous craftsmanship, of long days and late nights perfecting recipes. From our original aquavit, the first of its kind in Michigan, to our award-winning RTD cocktails making waves in the growing canned beverage scene, this list reflects the range of what we do and the quality we stand behind.

We’re honored, but we’re not done. We’ll keep crafting, experimenting, and refining, because every batch is a new opportunity to make something exceptional. So, here’s to our team, our supporters, and the relentless pursuit of great spirits.
