WILTON, Conn., Jan. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd., ("Drinks") (OTCBB: DKAMD), a leading developer and marketer of beverage products, announced today that KAH® Tequila was recently honored with Tequila.net's prestigious "Best of the Best" award.  Taking "Best of the Best" honors in the High-Proof Tequila category was KAH^® Tequila 110 Proof Reposado.

No entry fees are solicited or collected. The judges spend a full week, taking the time necessary to evaluate each product correctly. Contenders are pushed through multiple rounds until the top products are revealed. Only the "Best of the Best" are awarded in each category, producing results consumers can trust that are unbiased and carefully considered.

The 2011 Tequila.net Awards were announced in November. Over 100 brands submitted 277 products to this competition making it the largest Agave spirits tasting ever in the United States.

KAH^® Tequila previously received multiple awards for taste in all styles at the Spirits International Prestige Competition, with KAH^® Extra Anejo receiving the Platinum Award for Best in Class. The KAH^® Tequila Series received the Platinum Award for Best in Class for Package Design.  In addition to those awards, The Spirits of Mexico Tasting Competition judged KAH^® Tequila as Best in Category and awarded the Gold Medal to KAH^® Anejo, the Gold Medal to KAH^® Blanco and the Bronze Medal to KAH^® Reposado 110 Proof.
