SPENCERFIELD Spirit Company’s Edinburgh Gin has won four awards for its gins at the International Wine and Spirit Competition.
The company’s Cannonball Gin won a gold medal in the London dry gin category, while its Christmas Gin took silver in the same category.
Its Rhubarb & Ginger Gin Liqueurs and its Valentine’s Gin, meanwhile, won bronzes in the Liqueur category and the Contemporary Gin Styles category respectively.
The company also took a silver medal in the Scotch whisky, blended malt category for The Feathery Blended Malt Whisky.
Alex Nicol, managing director of Spencerfield Spirit Company, said: “We are thrilled to have won five awards at this prestigious competition.
“Since opening our Edinburgh Gin distillery last year, we have worked hard on creating new and exciting gins to bring to the market and to be recognised in this way is fantastic.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
