Wyland-branded series wins Double Gold for label design across Peach, Lemon, Vanilla and Mango Habanero, while Wyland Peach Vodka earns a second Double Gold in blind tasting.
WILMINGTON, N.C., July 16, 2026 — Daytoon Distributors, Inc. and its Equalise Flavored Vodka brand today announced two Double Gold medals at the 2026 SIP Awards, one of the spirits industry’s most competitive consumer-judged international competitions.
The brand’s Wyland-branded series — Wyland Peach Vodka, Wyland Lemon Vodka, Wyland Vanilla Vodka and Wyland Mango Habanero Vodka — earned Double Gold in the SIP Awards Packaging & Design competition, which recognizes creativity, originality, theme consistency and overall design across an entire product line. Each bottle in the series carries original marine art by Wyland, with proceeds from Equalise sales supporting the Wyland Foundation’s ocean conservation work.
In a separate honor, Wyland Peach Vodka also earned Double Gold in the SIP Awards’ double-blind tasting competition, placing it in the top percentile of its category among spirits judged by an independent consumer panel. Distilled from non-GMO North Carolina sweet corn and infused with natural Georgia peaches, Wyland Peach Vodka has been one of the brand’s fastest-growing releases since its debut.
“Winning Double Gold for both our packaging and our peach flavor in the same year validates everything we set out to do with Equalise,” said Paul Gregory, Chief Operating Officer, Daytoon Distributors / Equalise Flavored Vodka. “Wyland’s art doesn’t just wrap the bottle — it tells the story of ocean conservation on every shelf, and we wanted the vodka inside to live up to it. This recognition from SIP tells us we’re delivering on both fronts.”

The full Equalise lineup — Wyland Peach Vodka, Wyland Lemon Vodka, Wyland Vanilla Vodka and Wyland Mango Habanero Vodka — is available now in 750ml bottles at ABC stores and on-premise locations across North Carolina.
