THE team at The Isle of Wight Distillery are celebrating a double victory at the prestigious International Wines and Spirits Competition (IWSC) awards, which took place on Tuesday, August 14.
The distillery picked up a silver award for both the original Mermaid Gin, and the HMS Victory Navy Strength Gin.
Co-founder Xavier Baker said: “We are thrilled to win this award for not one, but two of our products.
"The IWSC is a big deal in the spirits world and to have achieved a silver award in our first three years and be internationally recognised, is an achievement the whole team can be proud of.”
