Gin Guild member MarGin has been recognised with two Bronze medals at the 2026 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), receiving awards in both the Spirit and Gin & Tonic categories.

The recognition adds another international accolade to the London Dry Gin, which is produced in small batches at 44% ABV and built around three key botanicals. MarGin describes the expression as a contemporary interpretation of the classic London Dry style, with an emphasis on a smooth, dry and elegant character.

The IWSC judges’ tasting note highlights “crisp citrus and bold medicinal pine aromas”, leading into a dry palate with notes of green walnut and subtle herbs, before a slightly astringent finish.

The result follows further recognition for MarGin in recent competitions, including a Silver Award at the 2025 World Gin Awards.

The latest IWSC success provides further international recognition for the brand and its distinctive approach to London Dry Gin.

Congratulations to the MarGin team from everyone at The Gin Guild.
