Aldi's $16 gin won gold at the International Wine and Spirits Competition
Aldi has another impressive win under their belt.
The German supermarket chain’s $16 bottle of Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin won gold at the International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC) this week.
A spokesperson at the International Spirits Challenge told The Independent: "The display of awards achieved by Aldi this year at the International Spirits Challenge was fantastic. They consistently showcased high-quality products in the blind tastings, which demonstrates that you don’t have to compromise on price to enjoy great tasting drinks.
"As a collective result across all categories from the competition, the supermarket undoubtedly was this year’s winner of the ‘Supermarket Own Branded Spirits Range of the Year!"
The news comes after Aldi cleaned up at the Melbourne wine awards, winning gold for a $7 bottle of One Road South Australian Heathcote Shiraz 2015.
Disappointingly, the Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin isn’t available in Australia. However, Australian made Darley’s London Style Gin, which won a gold medal at the 2015 Spirits International Prestige Awards, is available for $27.99.
