Festive Tipple wins Silver at The Gin Guide Awards

Blind Tasting

The Gold, Silver and Bronze Award winners are selected through a rigorous blind tasting process conducted by an esteemed panel of distinguished gin experts, including distillers, spirits buyers for retailers, authors, and mixologists. Each gin’s appearance, aroma, flavour, mouthfeel, finish, and overall quality are assessed to determine the highest scoring gins, based purely on the spirit itself and with no influence from branding, marketing, or the country of origin.

Head Judge, Paul Jackson

Head Judge Paul Jackson, the Founder and Editor of The Gin Guide, commented on The Gin Guide Awards 2026 and the standard of entries:

“The quality and diversity of gins entered in The Gin Guide Awards 2026 has been remarkable. Gins from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, and The Americas have been awarded at the highest levels. The award winners have shown the depth of skill in distillation and product development that continues to flourish in the industry, both in established gin markets and emerging gin markets. The industry-leading judging panels were greatly impressed, and the standard of international entries highlighted how gin has truly crossed borders and is an exciting product in markets across the world that are traditionally more associated with other spirits.”

“Huge congratulations and significant credibility go to all of the Gold, Silver and Bronze Award winners. The Gin Guide Awards names just a small number of awards in each category to ensure genuine exclusivity and to protect the value of the Awards and its proven ability to guide trade and consumer buying decisions. This is why being an award winner in The Gin Guide Awards has become one of the most revered achievements in the industry and a long list of previous award winners have used their success to accelerate their businesses to the next level. I very much look forward to seeing this year’s award winners enjoying the benefits of their achievements in the same way.”    

Cheers to us here at Shed One Distillery for Silver at The Gin Guide Awards!
