Judged by a panel of leading industry experts, OPIHR Aromatic Bitters London Dry Gin has been awarded the top accolade of Gold (Outstanding) in this year’s International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) with a phenomenal score of 98/100, the highest score in the London Dry Gin category.
OPIHR Aromatic Bitters Gin is the European Edition in the brand’s Regional Editions range, which takes inspiration from various global flavour trends located along the Ancient Spice Route.
Inspired by Venice’s 500+ year rich spice trade history and the Italian love affair with cascarilla bark which they famously use to create highly aromatic tonics, bitters and vermouths, OPIHR Aromatic Bitters Gin blends fragrant myrrh and the distinct aromatic bitterness of cascarilla bark.
This is a bold, savoury-led spiced London Dry gin with balanced bitter notes and mixes perfectly with sweet vermouth and Campari to create a spiced twist on a classic Negroni cocktail.
The IWSC win follows award wins for OPIHR Szechuan Pepper Gin (Far East Edition) which won two international Gold accolades last year at the International Spirits Challenge and Travel Retail Awards respectively.
Rob Milton, Global Brand Director for OPIHR Gin comments, “A growing number of gin consumers around the world are seeking more adventurous flavour combinations and OPIHR is the brand leading the way, opening up a whole new taste frontier in the gin category through its exploration of spice, as articulated through our marketing platform, Let The Taste Take You There. OPIHR’s range of gins send you on a taste adventure through each sip, making them really stand out from the crowd, and with so many consumers embracing our spiced London Dry Gins, it’s fantastic to see the industry following suit and recognising the quality within the OPIHR range.”
