Amaro Belga wins silver at the IWSC 2025

Silver Medal for Braeckman Amaro Belga at the IWSC 2025!

Fantastic news from Oudenaarde! Our Amaro Belga has won a superb silver medal at the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2025, with an impressive score of 91 points. This is a great recognition of our craftsmanship and the unique flavor we create.

What Makes Our Amaro Belga So Special?

Our Amaro Belga is a carefully crafted bittersweet liqueur, perfect for drinking neat as an aperitif or as a base for sophisticated cocktails. The complexity of the Amaro Belga comes from a meticulous selection of botanicals:

Sweet and bitter orange lay a vibrant citrus foundation. Building on this, earthy gentian and rhubarb roots provide the characteristic bitter notes and depth. Subtle notes of cinchona bark and wormwood add an extra layer of complexity. Finally, Belgian botanicals such as juniper, angelica root, and chamomile contribute a soft, aromatic depth and that unique Belgian twist.

The IWSC Jury's Tasting Notes

The IWSC jury was clearly impressed by the complexity and balance of our Amaro Belga:

• Nose: "Unique nose of Asian spices and bitter orange."
• Palate: "The palate bursts with citrus and lemongrass, revealing a delightful sweetness."
• Finish: "A long, chewy finish with hints of mandarin and orange skin."

This silver medal at the IWSC 2025 is a wonderful affirmation of the exceptional quality of our Braeckman Amaro Belga. We warmly invite you to taste this award-winning aperitif for yourself and experience the harmony of these flavors.
