Hungarian Gin Wins Prestigious International Competition

Hungary Today 2024.04.20.

The annual London Spirits Competition is one of the most prestigious international competitions in the world of spirit drinks. This year’s edition was a Hungarian success: the gold medalists included a Hungarian specialty, Árpád Classic Gin, made by Árpád Pálinka Manufaktúra, reports Turizmus.com.

The London Spirits Competition aims to highlight and reward spirit drinks that are not only of high quality, but also of real value to consumers. The scoring is based on three criteria: quality, presentation, and whether the product is offering value for money.

“Quality is of course of paramount importance: the beverages entered undergo a rigorous chemical analysis, but they also have to be a real pleasure to sip, with a balanced alcohol and acidity content,” says the winning brewery in a statement. In addition, the appearance of the drink is also significant: an aesthetically pleasing bottle with a special design can be a bar’s showpiece and consumers are more likely to buy it off the shelf. And finally, the beverages also need to ensure that customers really get value for money.

Árpád Classic Gin excelled in all categories, making the product the only one from Hungary to be proudly hailed as a gold medal winner.

Every year, Hungarian producers enter gins and other spirits in the competition. These are usually products that have been launched on the market before, so the feedback from consumers can already show if the beverage is to their liking. However, the Árpád Pálinka Manufaktúra decided to test their products before they went on sale, and their boldness has produced very positive results. In addition to the gold medal for the Árpád Classic Gin, the other gin entered,

the Árpád Paprika Gin, made from Hungary’s iconic spice, won a silver medal.

Fact

The Árpád Pálinka Manufaktúra has become known for its premium quality pálinka (Hungarian traditional fruit spirit), but the founders of the family business decided to take on a new challenge this year and create a new product line, the Árpád Gin. It is a London Dry-style gin that is more characteristic of citrus fruit in taste than usual, with an almost explosion of juniper on the palate. However, it is not just the taste of the gins that is special, the packaging is unique too: the bottle is elegantly ribbed and the label is clean, with micro relief patterns.
