We love celebrating a win. Especially a Gold. And so, we’re super excited about this one at the Word Trophy Wine and Spirit Awards in Luxembourg this year.
This judging award is “unaffected by industry bias” and is blind tasting judging process.
This year, 92 of the world’s leading wine and sprit experts from around the globe tasted 1,400 different spirits from 65 countries.
And, our Caribbean Gin was awarded a Gold Medal!
It’s been an absolute pleasure watching our boutique batch gin makes its way around the globe and in to the hands of industry professionals. It’s even more rewarding to receive medals!
We started this distillery to highlight and showcase the amazing ingredients of the Caribbean, by telling a new island story. And to be acknowledged with some of the best spirits in the world it means that we’re doing something right.
Making gin in the Caribbean
People looked at us like we were crazy in the beginning.
Making gin in the Caribbean was unheard of. We’re in rum country and it’s made well. Really, really well. So, why do something different?
Apart from the beautiful beaches, inviting smiles and vibrant music, the Caribbean is home to some of the most incredible flavours.
Grenada in particular is known as the “isle of spice”. Famous for their world class nutmeg, cocoa and cinnamon.
So, what better way to highlight these botanicals through a brand new medium that we loved, gin.
It took a long time to come up with our botanical recipe and distillation process (but we got to drink a lot of gin test batches). However, we are happy how things have turned out.
The secret? Fresh botanicals from island farms
It’s always been about flavour for us. Smooth, island flavours.
So, we work directly with local farmers to get the freshest and the best ingredients. It’s the only way!
These fresh botanicals go into the distillation process and create our unique, island blend.
“Best Value” Gold Medal
We’re actually very proud of this year’s win being “best value” in the Gold Medal category. It means that not only is the award wining recipe recognised but it means that our consumers can expect great value for money.
Thank you all for the support!
Of course, we couldn’t make this all possible without our amazing customers and fans. So, cheers to you all, this one’s for you!
