Maya Pistola Agavepura, Asia’s first premium 100% aged agave spirit, had made a significant mark on the global stage yet again, by earning four accolades at the recently released USA Spirits Ratings 2025.

The company’s Reposado expression was crowned ‘Spirit of the Year-India 2025’ and won a Gold medal with an exceptional 95 points, underscoring its superior craftsmanship and world-class quality.

The brand’s Añejo expression also earned a Gold with 92 points, while the Joven variant secured a Silver medal with 89 points, further cementing the brand’s position as a global contender in the premium craft spirit's landscape.

The USA Spirits Ratings, organised annually by Beverage Trade Network in San Francisco, is a globally respected competition that honours excellence in spirits through a comprehensive evaluation process.

Now in its seventh edition, the platform is uniquely designed to recognise products that deliver across three key criteria: quality, value and packaging. This ensures a balance between craftsmanship and consumer appeal.

Judged by leading industry professionals, including top independent, regional and national retail buyers, the competition awards Bronze, Silver, Gold and Double Gold medals to outstanding entries.

Since its launch in 2022, the brand has consistently earned global acclaim for its distinct Indian expression of agave, refined ageing techniques, and bold sense of provenance. The portfolio spans five expressions (Joven, Reposado, Rosa, Añejo and Extra Añejo) each matured for different time periods capturing a distinct nuance of agave and showcasing the depth of Indian terroir.

Over the past year, Maya Pistola has expanded its footprint across Rajasthan and Haryana, while making its mark internationally in Singapore, Thailand, Europe, the USA and the UK.

It has also won competition medals at Asian Spirits Masters, Berlin International Spirits Competition, Asia International Spirits Competition, Global Spirits Masters Competition, Asian Spirits Masters, San Francisco World Spirits Competition and London Spirits Competition.

Maya Pistola Agavepura is made from the wild agave Americana that thrives in India's Deccan plateau. Made completely naturally with no use of artificial colours, the core value of Pistola is authenticity.
