Success at Scottish Gin Awards for Stirling Distillery

Stirling, Scotland – 10th November, 2023 – Stirling Distillery are celebrating after winning a silver medal in the Gin Liqueur of the Year category at the 7th Annual Scottish Gin Awards with their popular Tropical Triumph liqueur.

Tropical Triumph is a fresh and fruity liqueur with a smooth and refreshing finish. Made with tropical mango, passion fruit, pineapple and lime juices, it is a real treat for the tastebuds. The recommended serves are: over ice with Fever-Tree Mediterranean tonic, in the distillery’s twist on a pornstar martini, or add a dash to a glass of sparkling wine.

Created in the summer of 2020 by Laura Barber and Elle McCann, the daughter of owners June and Cameron, the limited edition Tropical Triumph quickly became a favourite with Stirling gin fans so it was made a permanent addition to their gin range. Distillery Manager Elle was at the ceremony to collect the liqueur’s second award having won bronze in the same category in 2021.

Speaking at the ceremony, Elle explained her joy at being recognised for her fruity spirit: “We’re delighted to have received another accolade for our popular Tropical Triumph liqueur. It’s always a favourite with guests at our gin experiences and when we take it to events so we’re delighted the judges liked it too!”.

The annual awards took place in Glasgow on the 8th November and brought together the best gins and distillers from across Scotland. Categories included Scottish Gin Distillery of the year, Excellence in Sustainability, London Dry Gin of the year, Flavoured Gin of the Year, Old Tom Gin of the Year and many more. Boasting the UK’s largest and most experienced gin judging panel, the independently appointed industry experts from the gin sector offered a wide range of experience, market knowledge and distilling expertise.

About Stirling Distillery

Stirling Distillery We wanted to bring something unique to the ever growing world of Scottish Gin. In our recipe we feel we have achieved that goal. The result is a spirit with a big nose and very satisfying profile, whether neat or with a premium tonic of your choice. Our core gin is infused with hand picked Stirlingshire nettles, basil, lemon and orange peel, juniper and angelica root. This forms the base to our other products, all distilled at Stirling Distillery. As a result, our nearly navy strength Battle Strength Gin packs a mighty punch, while the Folklore Collection uses local fruits and herbs to create our range of gin liqueurs. Our entire range is inspired by the mythologies and history surrounding Stirlingshire and its beautiful castle. In 2019 we opened our doors at the foot of Stirling Castle. We are the first gin distillery in the beautiful city of Stirling and are proud to use local ingredients to create our outstanding Scottish spirits.
