A CHOLMONDELEY-based distillery has picked up two internationally-recognised award for its speciality gins.

The Three Wrens' apple crumble gin has received a Golden Fork award at this year's Guild of Fine Food Great Taste Awards following its achievement of three stars.

In the same month, the distillery's bison grass gin scooped the UK's Best Flavoured Gin award at the Great British Food Awards.

Owner and distiller, Nick Wadeson, said he was delighted with the success of both gins, which feature locally sourced ingredients.

He said: "This has been a life-changing month for us.

"To have won two of the top prizes in food and drink, judged by the UK's best food and drink experts, is astounding and I could not be more proud of my team and business.

"Both our bison grass and apple crumble gins are found nowhere else, and we have put a huge amount of effort into creating our range of gins, pushing the boundaries of innovation in the category along the way.

"We have seen a huge increase in orders and demand since the results were announced, and it is great to be so busy, we are looking forward to a record-breaking Christmas!

"We are currently working on another major release to be launched in spring 2022, so watch this space."
