receive these awards which are recognised globally for their independence and
consistently high standards.”
Commenting on the awards, Sprits Business Magazine
associate publisher Daisy Jones said, “It is always exciting each year when we
get new brands enter into The Spirit Masters Series and they outperform the
established brands. D1 London Gin entered into the ‘Super Premium’ and the
newly launched ‘Contemporary’ categories of The Gin Masters 2014 and very
deservingly was awarded the highest, Masters, medals in each category. This is
a true endorsement of a fabulous gin matching all the requirements of the now

Launched in May, D1 London Gin uses a very narrow
cut of triple-distilled spirit in a batch copper pot distillation with juniper
berries, coriander, orange and lemon peel, angelica root, cassia bark, orris,
almond, liquorice and nettles selected by a master tea blender. The resulting
40% ABV London Dry Gin produces quintessential British flavours and aromas of
orange, fruit tea with a juniper backbone, and a distinctive blackcurrant nose
that works perfectly with mint as a signature garnish.
