This new gin in its striking packaging won a Gold medal at last month's Drinks International Gin Challenge. Launched at the Duty-Free Show of the Americas earlier this year and at the London Distil event in May, Blue Ribbon will see a global roll-out following the start of industrial bottling this month.
Export manager Sébastien Folloppe says orders have been placed in Abu Dhabi, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Iceland, and the company is in negotiation with distributors in the US, Canada, Russia, UK, Ireland, Japan and Spain.
Blue Ribbon, a London Dry Gin distillation containing 14 botanicals, is said to be "a new breed of gin with a delicate and subtle bouquet of thyme, juniper, lime and Jamaican pepper".
The DI Gin Challenge judges noted: "fantastic anise and citrus nose, oily rich and complex"; "spicy, ginger, quince and cand ied peel, complex, rich and long", and "exotic spices, fruits and herbs on the nose, nice balance of flavours and persistent length of finish."

Service isn’t servitude: the skill of hosting
La’Mel Clarke, front of house at London’s Seed Library, looks at the forgotten art of hosting and why it deserves the same respect as bartending.
