We are so proud to once again be crowned Gin Producer of the Year at the #InternationalSpiritsChallenge2019 - our fourth win in the last five years no less! This award is due to the hard work of so many members of the Quintessential Brands team, especially those at G&J Distillers in Cheshire, where quality English Gin has been produced for over 250 years.
