Once again our annual Think Gin Awards have crowned the best in the business for their dedication to and innovative promotion of the gin category, with this year’s winners standing proud on this most botanical of platforms.
And once again the judging choices were tough, with the runners up and many of those that almost made the shortlist worthy of recognition for the dynamic ways in which both people and their companies have created a wholly British success story of this booming drinks category.
Congratulations from all at Harpers to our very worthy winners of the Think Gin Awards.
