According to international experts and leading magazines like "GQ," the World Gin Awards are the toughest and most important gin competition in the world.

Countless manufacturers from around the globe submit their gins, which are then evaluated by international top experts in a blind tasting according to strict rules. The scent, taste, and finish are judged, and other elements are also considered. This is based on a point system, where awards in bronze, silver, or gold are given upon reaching the respective minimum points required.
And the gin that wins "Gold" with the highest score in a country is also awarded as "Gold-Country-Winner." Only this gin can represent its country at the awards in London to compete for the title of "Best Gin in the World."

In 2023, Wharfedale Gardens was sensationally awarded two honors in the king category (London Dry Gin) at the legendary Waldorf Hotel in London: Gold and as Gold Country Winner. This makes Wharfedale Gardens the best London Dry Gin of Austria and places it in the absolute international top class.

In 2024, the consistent top quality of Wharfedale Gardens Gin was confirmed by two more gold medals. The Wharfedale Gardens Navy Strength Gin also received Double Gold. The ceremony took place at the legendary Hurlingham Club in West London, where the Royals are regular guests. Wharfedale Gardens Gin is now the best Navy Strength Gin of Austria and plays in the international gin champions league.

The wonderful verdict of the jurors was:

A complex and well-balanced bouquet with soft aromas of orange and apple alongside herbal notes. The taste is multi-layered with notes of juniper, pine, and citrus fruits, before it finishes long-lasting with hints of white pepper. Overall, a beautifully made gin.

Thank you very much, guys!
