We are so proud to share the news that we won GOLD at 2024 The Great British Food Awards for our Yiayia Gin!
This was a special collaboration between Zoe of Shed One Distillery and Irini Tzotzorglou, a Masterchef Champion. Plus, both Lindsay and Thea of Shed One Distillery assisted with the mixing and tastings. As well creating it, Zoe distilled it and designed the label, making it a fully women-led project.
Head Judge for this category was Adam Handling, chef and owner of Michelin starred Frog by Adam Handling.
Adam Handling was the Head Judge for this category for The Great British Food Awards, and we are delighted that his comments reflected what we were aiming to create. He said, “Nose: floral, delicate, citrus, sweet, cucumber; Palate: delicate, fragrant, soft peppery note, floral clean, umami and savoury.
Excellent gin with elegance and complexity, foraged and sourced all in the UK (except the juniper) with an innovative concept of Mediterranean flavours. A super artisanal and female-led project.”
