Hampshire-based spirits company, HMS Spirits, scoops award hat-trick

Published: 31 Jul 2018

Hampshire-based spirits company, HMS Spirits, has today announced it has won two awards for its distinctive tipple, Mary Rose Gin - a Silver Outstanding award and a Gin & Tonic Silver Outstanding award in the prestigious International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2018.

These awards bring the total number of accolades the company has won this year to four, having also been awarded 'Silver' in the London Spirits Competition 2018.

Ben Maguire, Director at HMS Spirits, said: "As a Hampshire-based local start-up business, it's fantastic to be recognised internationally for our Mary Rose Gin - this accolade from the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), is so encouraging given we're just at the beginning of our exciting journey."

"It's such a compliment that the hard work we go to in producing a unique premium London Dry Gin is being awarded for excellence. Our customers love the fact that Mary Rose Gin has kept a slightly higher oil content than most gins, giving it a richness which ensures it's smooth on the palette. What's more is that the beautiful bottle looks exceptional on any gin-lover's shelf."

Mary Rose Gin is the flagship product from the company and predominantly features floral wafts of rosemary and punchy grapefruit among its botanical selection.
