| 26th April 2016Quintessential Brands is delighted to announce that Thomas Dakin Small Batch Gin has been awarded yet another Gold Medal, following on from its Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this time at the World Gin Awards 2016.
The expert panel awarded Dakin a Gold saying:
“Nicely scented with notes of rose petal, pepper and candied peel. Broad and intense in the mouth with pepper, coriander and grass evident on the palate. The finish is dry, persistent and well weighted with lots of juniper. Striking and impeccable.”
In addition Thomas Dakin has also won the Best On-Trade Design, in the World Gin Awards for its impressive stand-out on the back bar.
David Hume, Director of Artisan Brands at Quintessential Brands, says: ““We are so pleased that the distinctive taste of Thomas Dakin Gin – with its notes of orange peel and savoury red cole – has been widely acclaimed by the experts here in the UK and the USA, two of the world’s largest gin markets. Inspired by Thomas Dakin, the forefather of quality English gin, our master distiller, Joanne Moore, has created a classic style savoury gin and ensures Dakin’s legacy lives on.”
Thomas Dakin is a classic style single small batch gin distilled the original way just as Thomas Dakin made it. Thomas Dakin was a young entrepreneur who, at the age of 25, began distilling his gin in the north of England. In 1761, he pioneered the development of high quality English gin, before anyone else. Distilled to a secret recipe with eleven botanicals, including orange peel and the distinctive ‘red cole’ (horseradish), Thomas Dakin Gin makes the ultimate ‘Tom & Tonic’, garnished with orange peel.
