Non-alcoholic York Gin wins national gold medal

York Gin is celebrating a national gold medal for its non-alcoholic spirit. 

 

York Zero was awarded the top prize at the national Free From Awards at a glittering ceremony in London.

 

It won gold in the No and Low Alcohol category sponsored by the Low No Drinker magazine. 

The alcohol-free spirit is made in collaboration with specialist alcohol-free manufacturers Bax Botanics from Wetherby. 

It is distilled with juniper and other herbs, fruit and spices associated with gin. 

 

Says York Gin Director, Natalie Hall: ‘We’re delighted with this win for York Zero. Our alcohol-free gin is a firm favourite with lots of customers who want a booze-free but grown-up drink. Juniper is definitely at the forefront of the flavour profile – so it’s a great alternative for gin drinkers. 

 

‘And it’s on several cocktail menus in York, including The Star Inn The City who make some delicious alcohol-free cocktails with it. 

‘We’re delighted for our collaborators Bax Botanics down the road in Wetherby who are truly inspired alcohol-free distillers. It’s a real Yorkshire success story.’

 

York Zero is available in the York Gin shop and online priced £23 for a 70cl bottle.
