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.

Sopwell London Dry Gin has been created by Hawkridge Distillers in partnership with luxury country hotel and spa, Sopwell House. 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.”

Priced at £65 for a 70cl bottle and £25 for a small 20cl bottle,Sopwell London Dry Gin is now available to purchase at Sopwell House’s reception, is complimentary (20cl bottle) for guests staying the Mews and Corner suites, as well as being stocked and used in some of the outstanding cocktails at the hotel’s Octagon Bar.
