Herno Old Tom Gin took home the biggest award at the Gin Masters 2020. The Swedish spirit was awarded the Taste Master trophy and picked up a Master Medal. It was a good night for the Swedish distillery overall as four different gins picked up Master Medals and another won Gold.
Judges tasted over 200 different Gin expressions during this year’s Gin Masters, reflecting the growth of both the blind tasting competition and the popularity of the often clear spirit.
