Isle Of Wight Distillery Strikes Gold At American Distilling Institute Awards

The Isle of Wight Distillery has been awarded seven gold medals at the prestigious American Distilling Institute Awards 2023 (ADI).

Mermaid Zest Gin topped the medal table with three gold medals in Best in Category, International Flavoured Gin, Brand Identity and Excellence in Packaging.

Mermaid Pink Gin and Mermaid Gin were also awarded gold medals in the Brand Identity Category and Excellence in Packaging.

The American Distilling Institute’s annual Judging of Craft Spirits recognises the top craft spirits in the US and around the world.

Founded in 2007, the competition brings together approximately 50 spirit judges to evaluate submissions from small and medium-sized producers.

Every spirit entered is tasted and evaluated blind by the expert panel of judges who use a scoring system to decide on what, if any, medal should be awarded.

Alongside the usual listing of Bronze, Silver, Gold and Double Gold, the ADI’s craft spirit also recognises the Best of Category and Best of Class.

These are the top entrants among the gold medal winners, with Mermaid Zest Gin achieving this accolade in Best in Category.
