Aldi’s own label Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin performed well at the International Spirits Challenge. The gin beat out more notable names such as Tanqueray Rangpur and Beefeater London Dry, all of which cost significantly more than the Aldi brand. It is among several other gins to receive the medal, including another Aldi gin Topaz Blue Premium Gin. The award comes on the back of the announcement that gin sales rose by 16% in the UK last year, leading to roughly 40m bottles sold.
