Press and awards

Praised by The New York Times as having "almost single-handedly invigorated the moribund liqueur category",[3] the spirit won the Grand Gold Medal at the Monde Selection in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the "Chairman's Award" in the Liqueur category at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2010.[4]

History

St-Germain was created by distiller Robert Cooper[5] and launched in 2007 by Cooper Spirits Co,[6] a company founded 2006 and headquartered in New York.[7] In 2013, the company was sold to Bacardi, and Robert Cooper agreed to work with Bacardi as a "brand guardian" and spokesperson.[2] Robert Cooper died in 2016 at the age of 39.[5]
