Ludlow distiller raises glass to gin award
A Ludlow gin distiller is raising a glass after scooping a prestigious award.
Wardington's Original Ludlow Gin won the Navy Strength category at The Gin Guide Awards 2020.
It comes after a spell as Gin of the Month with the UK’s largest gin subscription service, The Craft Gin Club.
In last year's awards the company made the finals for Distillery of the Year, having only launched in 2018.
More recently it has responded to the Covid-19 crisis by producing hand sanitiser for local frontline health services at no cost, and this week launched its limited-edition elderflower, camomile and lemon verbena gin.
Shaun Ward, founder, said: “The Gin Guide Awards are a huge benchmark in the industry.
"More and more people have discovered our gins and liqueurs over the last couple of months and the feedback we’re receiving from customers and on social media is simply incredible for a business that launched only 18 months ago.”
Head judge Paul Jackson, editor of The Gin Guide, commented: “Huge congratulations. It is an outstanding achievement to be a winner in The Gin Guide Awards, with the need to unanimously impress an expert panel of judges across all key characteristics of the spirit.”
