The Growing Gin Industry
Celebration of the Historic, Diverse and Growing Gin Industry
What are The Gin Guide Awards?
Now in its fifth year, this dynamic event has grown to include entries from hundreds of distilleries and gin brands from every corner of the world, from new micro-distilleries through to global brands, and from both established and growing markets.
The aim of The Gin Guide Awards is to provide recognition in a credible way, highlight quality products to the gin consumer and ultimately sell more products for the gin brands.
Entries close 11th February 2022 and judging is scheduled for 1st to 21st March 2022.
Let’s talk about the benefits
Reaching out to suppliers can be time consuming and tricky even without the pandemic. Events like The Gin Guide Awards allow already busy producers to network and get their brands in front of buyers, retailers and industry professionals, in a far more efficient way.
Following on from our blog last year which included 5 best reasons to be part of The Gin Guide Awards, we wanted to catch up with the organisers and winners of this prestigious event and find out what was in store for 2022. There was some amazing feedback from gin producers who clearly benefited from the awards in the previous year.
"We have entered many spirits awards, but The Gin Guide Awards has blown us away with the attention to detail on all aspects of the competition, the judging, communications, meeting deadlines, and providing feedback to all entries, not to mention the lovely shiny stickers. We at Thunderflower, thank all involved!" - Anicca O'Nions, Thunderflower Gin
