We are absolutely over the moon to share that The Secret Garden Distillery has been awarded the IWSC - Club Oenologique’s UK Gin Producer 2025. ✨
This award is shortlisted purely on the quality of the liquid, and for our gin, our garden, and our team to be recognised at this level is something truly extraordinary. Although only our Pinot Noir gin received a Gold award, our other entries also scored silver or bronze awards displaying the depth of our product here at the Distillery. Read here about these individual awards in our blog from June 2025.
Four years ago, we stepped into this industry as two young sisters with a love for nature, a belief in sustainable craft, and a determination to do things differently. We didn’t have a roadmap - just a garden, a small team, and a shared conviction that spirits made with integrity, patience, and purpose deserved their place in the world.
To receive this award from one of the most respected judging bodies in the industry is not only an honour - it’s a celebration of every person who has helped build The Secret Garden into what it is today.
Thank you for believing in us, for supporting a women-owned distillery, and for showing that there is space in this industry for new voices, new ideas, and new ways of doing things. We hope this moment encourages more young women to enter distilling, production, and spirits. This industry is richer and stronger when more perspectives are represented!
This win means more than we can express.
With gratitude,
Isobel & Imogen
