Gun Dog Gin Scores a Hattrick

Gun Dog Gin Scoops a Hattrick of Great Taste 2021 Awards with their Damson, Rhubarb and Quince Gins – truly Herefordshire artisan products.

They have been given an incredible 3-star award by Great Taste, the largest and most trusted food and drink awards on the planet. Two other Gun Dog Gin liqueurs, Rhubarb and Quince, each won 2-star awards as well.


The Great Taste judges’ comments for Damson Gun Dog Gin included ‘gorgeous’, ‘luxurious’, ‘perfect’ and ‘sophisticated’. In summary, ‘a well-crafted damson gin with well-judged sweetness and an expressive damson flavour’.

The Rhubarb Gun Dog Gin liqueur received compliments like ‘a beauty’ and ‘very refreshing and easy to drink!’

The Great Taste judges’ comments for Quince Gun Dog Gin liqueur ranged from ‘delicate and inviting’ to ‘a really beautiful expression of quince in a spirit’.

Gun Dog Gin sources all the top-quality fruit used in its artisan, small-batch production from local growers in Herefordshire, including much from farming friends and family.

‘To receive three separate Great Taste awards in our very first year of entering is absolutely incredible! We always believed our gin liqueurs were of the best quality because of the ingredients and processes used. However, to receive these glowing endorsements from such a prestigious organisation as Great Taste, means that retailers and customers can be very confident they are purchasing from Gun Dog Gin a truly delicious product of the highest quality.’

Julie Green, co-owner of Gun Dog Gin Ltd.

Gun Dog Gin liqueurs are available online through www.gundog-gin.co.uk and from select farm shops across the UK.
