THE GIN GUIDE AWARDS
FINALISTS 2023

We are delighted to announced the gins which are Finalists in The Gin Guide Awards 2023. Following comprehensive blind tastings by our exceptional panels of industry-leading Judges, these are the gins which have been considered to be above the threshold score to be a Finalist this year in their respective categories. The threshold score to be a Finalist takes into account average scores from the Judges, the standard deviation of scores, and the number of entries in the category. It must be noted that margins have been extremely fine this year and a notable number of entries have been fractionally close to the threshold and deserve huge credit. Many congratulations to the Finalists who are listed by category in alphabetical order below. For producers with a profile/review on The Gin Guide, click on the links to find out more.

Next Stage: Final tastings and verifications are now taking place to determine and confirm the Winners in each of the tasting categories. Scores are also being collated to determine the geographic highest scorers and to announce the Winners of the Design & Branding category, the Environmental Sustainability category, and the Industry Choice Awards.
  • Winners are currently scheduled to be announced on Wednesday 3rd May 2023.
