HEL ABOVE · 2026

95 POINTS. IWSC GOLD.

Hel Above achieved IWSC Gold with 95 points in 2026. Created for Espresso Martinis, it combines expressive brewed-coffee character with balanced sweetness and a clean finish.

Great Taste 2026 — 1 Star; International Spirits Challenge 2025 — Bronze.

"Ripe dark fruits and freshly brewed coffee aromas lead seamlessly to a palate where gentle spice and delicate bitterness mingle with a balanced sweetness. The finish lingers with a satisfying chewiness and a subtle, refreshing dryness that truly captivates."
