The Gin Guild has appointed two new directors to its board, Sophie Best, director at William Grant & Sons’ Silent Pool Distillery, and Andrew Parsons, master distiller and co-founder of The Sky Wave Distilling Company.

In memory of its late distiller, Nao Spirits and Beverages, the craft gin distillers form India, have announced the Jay Dhawan Scholarship in association with the Gin Guild. 

Red Storm and Ocean Storm have been withdrawn from the market after The Gin Guild threatened legal action against the producer for incorrectly labelling them as “gin”.

Malta: The Maltese Bartenders’ Guild (MBG) has appointed a new president. Wine and spirits retailer Joseph Farrugia took the post in October.
