I'm certain most have heard of the Great British Food Magazine, the UK's biggest food publication. For many years, the magazine has hosted The Great British Food Awards - a celebration of the best of British.
Orkney Gin Company has made headlines at the Great British Food Awards for the fourth year! We received a prestigious Gold award for our exceptional Orkney Vodka and two Silver awards for our festive creation: Christmas Old Tom and London Dry: Aatta. Winning the Great British Food Awards for another year showcases the company’s commitment to quality. The success demonstrates how high standards in craft distilling can resonate with food and drink enthusiasts nationwide and worldwide.
A Toast to Excellence in the Great British Food Awards: The Gold-Winning Orkney Vodka
Winning the Gold award is significant, especially in the competitive vodka category, judged by celebrity chef, Olly Smith. Orkney Vodka stands out for its smoothness and rich character. Uniquely distilled eight times for exceptional clarity, this vodka is certainly not one to miss. The Orkney Gin Company’s meticulous care in production explains why 85% of consumers who try it recommend it to friends.
Festive Cheers: Silver Awards for Christmas Old Tom and Aatta
The Orkney Gin Company secured Silver awards for both Christmas Old Tom and Aatta, showcasing our ability to create a stunning variety of premium products.
Christmas Old Tom, infused with festive fruits, cinnamon and nutmeg, perfectly captures the essence of Winter. Imagine cosying up with loved ones beside a fire while sipping on this zesty and sweet gin. Did you know that 4 out of 5 holiday drinkers prefer a warming drink over the festivities? This makes Christmas Old Tom the perfect gift, and it's also wonderful in your prosecco on Christmas Day for a unique sweet and festive spiced fizz.
Aatta, on the other hand, boasts a modern twist with its list of unique whole botanicals. For instance, the use of rose hips gives it an earthy, yet gently floral note that contrasts nicely with the silky tonka bean and touches of whole vanilla. This makes Aatta a versatile choice, whether mixed into cocktails or enjoyed neat.
Did you know that Christmas Old Tom is made using our eight times distilled Aatta Gin? Festive botanicals such as whole and dried fruits, cinnamon and spice are then added to create this gorgeous full-strength sweet gin (also known as an Old Tom). This means it can take up to a whopping three months to hand-craft!
