Awards


Over the years, many of our brands have earned special names based on their reputations. Courvoisier® is known as “The Cognac of Napoleon”; Laphroaig® is called “The King of Smoke.” These monikers may distinguish our products on an individual level, but what unites our portfolio is that our brands are recognized for their quality.

Our spirits  have garnered acclaim in some of the industry's most prestigious international tasting competitions. Each award that is won by our brands is a reflection of the passion and commitment to quality that Beam Global employees bring to their craft. Below is a list of recent awards that honor our brands.
