Dietz Distillery Wins Silver Medal at San Francisco World Spirits Competition for Five Judges Gin
The award recognizes the Texas-made spirit's exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to Old World distilling traditions FREDERICKSBURG, Texas, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dietz Distillery is proud to announce that its handcrafted Five Judges Gin has been awarded a Silver Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC). Renowned for its rigorous blind tasting evaluation process, the SFWSC is one of the most respected spirits competitions in the world. This recognition places Five Judges Gin—a small-batch spirit crafted in the heart of the Texas Hill Country—among the finest gins globally. Handcrafted in Fredericksburg, Texas, Five Judges Gin is a juniper-forward, London dry-style gin distilled using old-world methods and the finest ingredients—including bright citrus from the Rio Grande Valley, giving it a uniquely Texan character. The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, one of the most prestigious and longest-standing in the industry, honors only the highest-quality spirits. Earning a Silver Medal is a proud recognition of the gin's exceptional craftsmanship and distinct flavor profile. "We've always believed in honoring tradition while capturing the bold spirit of Texas," said Dietz Fischer, owner and distiller at Dietz Distillery. "To see our Five Judges Gin recognized on a global stage is a tremendous honor. This award affirms our commitment to slow, intentional distilling and to producing something truly special right here in Fredericksburg." The name Five Judges pays tribute to the five judges who have called our farm home over the past century—three generations of the Wieser family, along with two early Texas justices—all of whom played a role in shaping the legal and civic foundations of the region: J.B. Wieser, Jarvis Wieser, Mark Wieser, M.A. Dooley, and Julius Schuchard. Now, with this award, it also signifies a place among the best gins worldwide. Five Judges Gin is available exclusively for purchase at Dietz Distillery, located at the Fischer & Wieser Farmstead in Fredericksburg, TX. About Dietz Distillery Founded by Dietz Fischer and rooted in a rich family legacy in Fredericksburg, Texas, Dietz Distillery combines Old World distillation techniques with Texas-German heritage.
