SLINGSBY GIN TAKES HOME DOUBLE GOLD FOR NAVY STRENGTH GIN AT CHINA WINE & SPIRITS AWARDS
Harrogate-based artisan gin, Slingsby, has been awarded a double gold medal for its Navy Strength Gin at the prestigious China Wine & Spirits Awards (CWSA) for Best Value 2017.
Launched by Spirit of Harrogate in August 2016, Slingsby Navy Strength Gin is bottled at 57% abv and has great body and intensity, with a smooth finish.
As the major springboard for wines and spirits entering into the Chinese drinks market, this award comes as welcome boost for Slingsby Gin who is rapidly expanding its listings into new regions with international plans on the horizon. The 100-strong panel of CWSA judges all have the professional ability to purchase alcohol for China and Hong Kong.
Marcus Black, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Slingsby Gin, comments:
“With export being one of our focuses for 2017, we were very excited to be awarded such a prestigious award from the CWSA – the biggest and most prestigious wine and spirits competition in Hong Kong and China.
“We have spent the last 12 months really focusing on key areas in the UK and now we have developed the brand/ product range and attracted a good following here, the natural next step for us is to expand internationally and explore new markets and opportunities. Whilst our brand and ethos are very much synonymous with Harrogate, we are excited to take the Slingsby brand to the next level.”
This news follows Slingsby Gin just welcoming their 10,000th customer into its Spirit of Harrogate retail store, where they host popular Gin Experience packages and are constantly innovating with new flavours.
