A GIN made in County Durham has won a prestigious award within months of production. WL Distillery, in South Hetton, has been awarded the silver medal at the London Spirits Competition 2021 for its debut 1st Edition Gin.
Now in its fourth year, the prestigious competition is an annual judging of international spirits organised by the Beverage Trade Network and the Silver medal is an ultimate endorsement in the global spirits industry.

The independent small-batch producer, WL Distillery is just six months into production of its 1st Edition gin – described as a refreshing gin infusion boasting an indulgent aroma infused with garden botanicals, touches of apple, pear, raspberries, blackberries and juniper berries.
The 2027 London Spirits Competition gives every entrant greater feedback, transparency and valuable commercial insight. Entrants will receive an expanded score breakdown, constructive feedback on how to improve their spirits, guidance on how to market and sell them, the names of the judges who tasted their entries, final feedback from the Head Judge and a Buyer Market Intelligence Report.
Enter your spirits in the 10th edition of the London Spirits Competition.
