More awards for flourishing gin producer as team doubles in size

An award-winning gin company which has doubled in size during 2024 is rounding off a successful year by adding more industry accolades to its growing list of plaudits.

The Dundee Gin Company’s dry gin was recently named the best botanical gin brand (Scotland) and scooped the excellence award for local ingredients in the LUXlife magazine awards 2024. 

The news ends a momentous year for the business which recorded an increase in sales throughout 2024.  This has led to the team doubling in size to eight people, with further growth of up to 50% anticipated in the coming year as additional stockists are added.

Other successes during the year included the dry gin also receiving a gold award at this year’s Great British Food Awards whilst the new Signature Vodka won a silver award.  Meanwhile, The Guild of Fine Food Great Taste Awards 2024 brought home decorations for Dundee Dry Gin, Sticky Toffee Pudding Gin Liqueur.

The success of Dundee Dry Gin is thanks in part to its unique, award-winning collaboration with the botanic gardens at Dundee University where botanicals are sourced to create the award-winning gin.

A strong commitment to ESG sees the Dundee Gin Company plant more than 500 trees each year to offset its carbon emissions, and more than £500,000 has been raised for charity thanks to fundraising efforts and special edition bottling.

The Dundee Gin Company trademark was established in 2017 and since then, a growing range of drinks has been added to the portfolio including spiced rum, vodka and gin liqueurs. 

Commenting on the success of the year, a spokesman said: “Taking home these awards is wonderful recognition for our products, the team who work so hard to create them, the support we have received from Business Gateway and the local ingredients we are proud to highlight.

“Endorsement of this nature is very important in a competitive marketplace, and we are pleased that they both recognise our journey so far and help us to look to the future with confidence and optimism.”
