Padstow Distilling recently won Gold, Silver and Bronze medals

Cornish distillers, Padstow Distilling recently triumphed at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), earning four awards: Gold, Silver and two Bronze medals.

Specialising in crafting spirits with ingredients farmed and foraged on the North Cornwall coast, Padstow Distilling has gained a reputation for its small-batch spirits. Founder David McWilliams and his team use Cornish barley grown one mile away from the distillery to create their base, with the process taking three weeks to ensure the highest quality of provenance for the distillery's spirits.

Wins for Padstow Distilling include a Gold award for its vodka Padstow Vodka Gun Point, a Silver award for its gin Padstow Gin St George's Well and Bronze awards for Padstow Rose Gin Hawker's Cove and Navy Strength Gin Stepper Point.

On the four award wins, David comments: "In the spirits world, few competitions are as incisive as the IWSC - and I'm very pleased with the results, not only because it confirms all our hard work has been worthwhile, but also because it shows the wider world how we can stand with the giants in the business. It's the start of an exciting journey for us: each time we make a little improvement here or there in our recipes and methods, we can imagine our scores nudging ever so slightly higher, and that's great motivation to do better each time. Thank you to all the judges at the IWSC for recognising our spirits!"
