Norgin takes gold at the Europe Wine & Spirits Trophy
At the end of November we received the news: Our NORGIN London Dry Gin has won gold in the category “London Dry Gin” at the Europe Wine & Spirits Trophy! This award comes from the largest and most prestigious wine & spirits competition in Europe. In the process, 85 judges evaluate the various spirits according to quality, value, aroma, body, taste and packaging. The special thing about this is that the judges themselves are big buyers of such wines and spirits: For example, as importers, retailers and sommeliers. We are very pleased about this award and are excited to see what else awaits us in 2022.
Norgin takes bronze at the World Gin Award 2021
Also this year we have entered our NORGIN in the World Gin Award and have now been awarded bronze! A great confirmation of our work, which we are also very pleased about this time and shows us that our North Sea original is also convincing in the long term. Even though there can be no official celebration in England this year, we send a “Cheers!” to London.
Norgin takes bronze at the Craft Spirits Festival
On 13.02. we were at the Craft Spirits Festival – and many of you were too! We had a great time and an interesting conversation with Niklas (@ginfektion). As a very special gift for Valentine’s Day, thanks to your many votes, we then got bronze at the CSF Gin Award and are very happy about this great result. Thank you and cheers from the NORGIN team!
