World Gin Award Winners
It’s that time of year again! Gin awards time!
I really enjoy going through the winners, seeing what ones I have tried and making notes of winners I have yet to try. There are so many categories that my list at the end is always big enough to keep me busy for a while! So many good looking gins this year. Sweden sweeping the London Dry category was very cool to see.
I thought I’d make a list of 2021 winners we currently have in stock. Maybe you can grab one that you have not had!
Edinburgh Gin coming in hot and taking multiple awards!
Edinburgh Gin – Rhubarb & Ginger
SILVER – Flavoured Gin
Bottled at 40%, this perfectly balanced juniper-forward gin is full of natural flavour. Aromas of rhubarb are complemented by a lift of spice, leading to a smooth, full finish.
Edinburgh Gin – Gooseberry & Elderflower
SILVER – Flavoured Gin
A deliciously refreshing and aromatic gin that harmonises tangy Gooseberry with sweet Elderflower creating a refreshing and balanced gin.
Edinburgh Gin – Raspberry
BRONZE – Flavoured Gin
It is distilled with five traditional gin botanicals and a combination of fresh Scottish raspberries and raspberry leaves to a create a perfectly balanced gin with an incredible depth of flavour.
Rock Rose Gin – Navy Strength
BEST IN SCOTLAND – Navy Strength
The higher ABV version of Rock Rose gives a strong warm pine release at the front of the drink with notes of lemon sherbet. The heart of the drink is very bold berries from the blaeberries, rowan and hawthorn. These give way to the deeper earthier notes that are hidden in the original Rock Rose, such as angelica and orris.
Hernö Gin – London Dry
GOLD – London Dry
Crafted from natural and carefully selected organic botanicals, Hernö Dry Gin is a round and smooth London dry gin diluted to 40,5% ABV. Hernö Dry Gin is awarded with IWSC World’s best London Dry Gin and World’s best Gin & Tonic but is also very enjoyable on its own.
Edinburgh Gin – Classic
SILVER – London Dry
Our classic London Dry style gin. A clean, zesty, juniper-forward gin which balances softness with bright citrus. Launched in 2010, this is our modern London Dry gin, with a nod to Scotland in its recipe including native plants and botanicals.
Nikka – Coffey Gin
SILVER – Contemporary Style Gin
Coffey Gin’s complexity is achieved through the perfect balance between 11 selected botanicals and the silky texture of Coffey distillates. The bright and zesty aroma originating from four kinds of Japanese citruses, Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu and Shequasar, compliments the traditional gin botanicals of juniper berries, angelica, coriander seeds, lemon and orange peels.
Foragers – Yellow Label
BRONZE – Contemporary Style Gin
Starting with soft juniper tones, Foragers gently takes you to fresh, semi-sweetness of apple and elderberry, before giving way to incredible, subtle, unmistakable floral notes from gorse and heather flowers. This truly is an authentic expression of Britain and the terrior of North Wales.
Grab one of these or any other one of our many gins! Find your new G&T gin!
Til next time.
