From picking up international awards to hitting top glossy magazines to being featured at London's world-famous Science Museum, County Durham based WL Distillery are continuing to make a splash on the gin market with their vibrant creations.
Innovation is at the heart of the distillery and the team behind the award-winning 1st Edition Gin now have an ever-growing popular range of flavours under their portfolio. Wilson’s Gin Club ‘Watermelon and Liquorice’ is a particularly popular edition which hit the market last summer with its infusion of flavours which raised heads in the industry and also arose interest in the USA market .
The premium pour of ‘Watermelon and Liquorice’ embodies a refreshing gin, crafted using juniper with the cool refreshing flavours of watermelon and mint balanced with the crisp taste of lime and expertly finished with a twist of liquorice. A delicious blend and a sumptuous flavour of Spring/Summer in a glass and just the tonic for gin enthusiasts.
Scott Wilson-Laing, Founder at WL Distillery said: “We have been on an incredible journey over the last couple of years and receiving leading industry awards in such a short period of time really helped cement the brand as a strong player in the market.
The release of Wilson’s Gin Club ‘Watermelon and Liquorice’ caused quite a stir in the industry with the mix of flavours. It’s also been very popular on the event scene with requests for miniatures at events and award ceremonies, and we anticipate further demand for this flavour as we hit the Spring/Summer season.”
It’s been a busy couple of years for the awardwinning distillery, picking up a number of prestigious industry awards including gold at The Gin Masters, making Vogues ‘Hot List’, GQ’s ‘Cocktail Club’ and listed in the London Spirits Top 100 spirits.
With an explosion of flavours, their inspiration comes from their Northern roots, ensuring a fresh and classic authentic gin experience for customers. Ingredients have always taken centre stage at WL Distillery and each bottle is infused with nature using handpicked and measured botanicals to ensure the freshest, most authentic taste.
The team recently unveiled plans to ramp up expansion with further investment and site acquisition at their County Durham based site. The new plans will assist in expanding their product portfolio and developing their export growth strategy to support further accelerated growth.
