OTS - The world's best gin for gin and tonic comes from Germany: GINSTR wins London award
2018. August 16. 08:00
London, 16 August, 2018 (APA/OTS) - More than 600 different gin
distillers from 90 countries competed in London at the der
International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) to decide which
gin would turn out to be the best this year. The victor in the Gin
& Tonic Trophy this year may well come as something of a surprise:
The highly regarded prize went for the first time to Germany - to a
small Stuttgart distillery. GINSTR - Stuttgart Dry emerged
victorious over all the well-known international brands and is now
the world's best gin for a gin and tonic.
What is noteworthy is that the Stuttgart gin has been on the
market for only around 18 months. The brand started in life as a
hobby pursued by distillers Alexander Franke, 34, and Markus
Escher, 27. It is still being made in small quantities in their own
distillery using juniper berries they have grown themselves, along
with ingredients from the Stuttgart region. GINSTR received the
gold medal at the World Spirits Award earlier this year, and has
now been acknowledged as the best in the world for gin and tonic.
The IWSC's international jury comprises 400 jurors who spend
several months of the year tasting and assessing wines and spirits
from all over the world. Set up in 1969, the competition is
regarded as the most important prize in the sector. In addition,
there was a separate special commendation for the young distillers
in the form of the IWSC's Outstanding Gold for the unusually clear
outcome of the test in this category. In 2011 Monkey 47 won at the
IWSC as the first gin from Germany, since then becoming a brand
with an international reputation.
