A Cornish gin, made using botanicals from Cornish hedgerows, has been named as one of the top eleven gins in the world by a panel of global experts.

Trevethan Cornish Craft Distiller has been awarded a gold medal by one of the worlds leading spirit judging panels – International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC).

The IWSC has been tasting and reviewing the world’s finest wine and spirits for over 50 years.

In that time, it has earned a reputation for innovation and engagement, as well as unbiased, meticulous and authoritative judging.

This year the panel has awarded Saltash-based Trevethan Cornish Craft Gin a Gold Medal in its London Dry Gin category, reportedly one of the toughest and exclusive gin production categories in the world, beating thousands of competing gins from all over the world.

Trevethan has been entering the IWSC since its inception and has never received less than a silver medal, each year improving on its score, the team reading and learning from the judges notes and perfecting their world class distillation methods.

This year the Trevethan team achieved their ambition of a gold medal-achieving 95 points out of 100.

Only 11 gold medals were awarded in the London Dry category in this year’s competition, despite there being thousands of global entrants.

John Hall, founder and head distiller said: "We are delighted at this recognition.

"Now, Trevethan can proudly proclaim its status as one of the best craft distilleries in the world and the team look forward to flying the flag of Cornwall as we expand the brand."

Trevethan Distillery open its doors in 2015 when distiller John Hall and food engineer, Rob Cuffe, decided to resurrect Rob’s grandfathers family gin recipe that dated back to 1929.

Since then John has been perfecting their take on the London Dry method of gin distillation using both exotic and handpicked Cornish botanicals.
