Sopwell London Dry Gin has been awarded Silver at the prestigious 2024 International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC). Competing against over 4,000 gins, including top global producers worldwide, this year's event was noted for its exceptionally high standards, making the judging process incredibly rigorous.

It features locally sourced, hand-foraged botanicals from the property’s Hertfordshire estate and has hints of juniper and citrus for depth of flavour whilst the finish is lengthy, dry, well-balanced and robust.

David Petitt, Director of Marketing at Sopwell House, comments: “We are immensely proud to have secured Silver at this year’s IWSC Awards, especially given the increased quality of entries. The gin was inspired by the botanicals found in our very own gardens and the surrounding countryside. This recognition highlights the excellent craftsmanship behind the spirit.”
