Double Gold in San Francisco

Postby the Doctor » Tue Apr 17, 2018 7:41 pm

Wanted to say a big hey to Mac & Mrs Mac ...you see we just won the double gold for gin at San Fran world spirits comp... the gin which is our London Dry style, was distilled solely in 5 Star stills using the 5 Star Carter head... they are that good.

A heartfelt thank you to all for your well wishes. I started as a hobby distiller and will always be one at heart. The best thing is that my son has become a distiller and i have the pleasure of working beside him and my talented apprentice Iain.... My son entered San Fran this year with a Gin called Sweet Pea and took a silver at his first attempt, I am one very proud dad... anyway thanks again, I appreciate the support

London Dry is an impressive category to win, there would be some stiff competition
Definitely will have to visit one day too
Well done Doc
