Urban Rhino a Winner in the World's Biggest Gin Competition

With hundreds of entries from 35 countries The Gin Guide Awards are the world’s largest dedicated gin competition.

And Urban Rhino Gin premium London Dry Gin is a WINNER!!!

Organisers say the quality and international diversity of the 2024 winners has been eye-catching as the popularity and standard of gins from emerging gin markets has reached new levels alongside a strong showing of winners from the UK, including Winners from Uruguay, Chile, India, Singapore, Kenya, Tanzania, Croatia, Slovenia and more.
The Winners are selected through a rigorous blind tasting process conducted by an esteemed panel of distinguished gin experts, including distillers, spirits buyers for retailers, authors, and mixologists. Each gin’s appearance, aroma, flavour, mouthfeel, finish, and overall quality are assessed to determine the highest scoring gins, based purely on the spirit itself and with no influence from branding, marketing or the country of origin.

Head Judge Paul Jackson, the Founder and Editor of The Gin Guide, commented on The Gin Guide Awards 2024 and the standard of entries. He said: “The Gin Guide Awards names just a small number of Winners in each category to ensure genuine exclusivity and to protect the value of the Awards and its proven ability to guide trade and consumer buying decisions. It is why being a Winner in The Gin Guide Awards has become one of the most revered achievements in the industry and a long list of previous Winners have used their success to accelerate their businesses to the next level. I very much look forward to seeing this year’s Winners enjoying the benefits of their achievements in the same way.”

Urban Rhino CEO Pete Richardson said it’s amazing that in less then six months since a rebrand and relaunch the gin has won three major awards – and this tops the lot. He said: “Getting this news makes all the hard work from so many wonderful people really worth it. This is a tough industry to be a newbie in, especially with current economic conditions, competition from staggeringly good craft gins and the stranglehold of the really big companies on trade sales. But thanks to the amazing team at Henley Distillery, my partner Sarah our wonderful marketing guru and all those who believe in what we are doing we are determined to achieve a real global success.
“We have an amazing award winning gin, in aid of the most worthy cause, and some fantastic supporters and it’s truly inspiring to know that the experts think we have a fantastic gin. So Sip Gin, Save Rhinos!!”
