Big wins for our gins at the SFWSC 2022

The Tasting Alliance Competitions are considered extremely influential within the industry. According to Forbes magazine, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition is now the largest in the world. We are so proud that four of our member gins have been recognised and received big awards at this years' prestigious event.

The competitions have elevated the reputation of brands from around the world and represent the ultimate curator for the best international wine and spirits. 'Receiving a medal from the organisation is a critical next step for any producer to earn recognition in the industry.'

Gin is one of the most versatile categories of spirits there is, due largely in part to its fairly lax requirements. This leads it to be an exceptional base for cocktails, as producers take more and more free reign in the botanicals used and techniques employed.

Gothic Gin - DOUBLE GOLD

Starting with a kosher-certified, corn-based neutral spirit, Gothic’s botanicals are sourced through the San Francisco Herb Company, which looks for the highest quality and sustainably sourced ingredients. Gothic Gin follows London Dry methodology, which is just a single distillation with the grain steeped in the pot with its traditional ingredients. However, the vapour infusion with eucalyptus and Valencia orange peel means it’s classified as a contemporary gin. "Receiving a double gold is an extraordinary honour." - CEO and Founder, Chris Klug.

Island Original Gin - DOUBLE GOLD

Island Gin Double GOLD — Island Original Gin

Using the unique ingredients of local manuka-bush honey, island flora, organic Macedonian juniper and solar-powered, triple-filtered rain water. The gin is poured into beautifully crafted recycled glass bottles bearing the stippling of a kina shell (sea urchin).

“It’s an outstanding result for our off-grid boutique distillery, and we were the only gin from New Zealand to win a Double Gold this year." - Andi Ross, head distiller. From Great Barrier Island, NZ islandgin.com

Little Juniper Distilling’s Signature Gin - GOLD

“Green and grassy character with aromatics of lime leaf, florals and anise. The palate is herbal with good flavour complexity and creamy notes, which carry through onto the finish. Good balance and definition.” Little Juniper Signature Gin is a small batch, handcrafted, 100% organic gin, designed for flavour and sustainability. From Australia littlejuniper.com.au

Tanglin’s Orchard Gin - GOLD

“A resinous assortment of juniper, citrus, tea and herbs on the nose, with hot spice and lavender developing on the palate giving a very classic example of this spirit.” A gin that articulates local flavours, bringing together 11 different botanicals that represent the disparate cultures and ethnicities that define the Singaporean identity.
