WINNER – Scapegrace Gold (New name for Rogue Society Gold) took out the London Dry Gin Trophy 2018 in London — the first time in the influential competition’s 49 year history that a New Zealand brand has won the accolade. Scapegrace Gold was described by judges as “staggeringly good” and beat more than 600 other gins from almost 90 countries to take out the supreme award.

The Gold has a strong, oozing attitude. 13 exotic botanicals, glacial New Zealand waters, born of a copper pot still. All concealed beneath a shimmering gold disk. Its a sign of a modern 57% gin by Scapegrace with real character.

Big, fresh nose with pronounced aromatic intensity. A place where juniper, orange peel and deep spice dominate. Vibrant in the mouth. Citrus and juniper enjoy dominance. Smooth but crisp on the palate. Beautifully balanced and with a surprisingly long finish, the Scapegrace comes back with waves of orange and mixed floral notes. Dry gin, in its prime.
