It was just a punt.

We decided to see if our ALCONOT Signature Blend was as good as the feedback suggested.

Not being alcohol drinkers it was difficult one to judge for us but not for WAFA.

As you can tell we were as proud as new parents, our baby won an award!

For us this is a huge honour and massive reward for all the hard work and effort we have all put in, from our superstar team at our recipe house, Joe and Adrian at Drinks Chef, Andrew and his team at Harkwell and Freddie Cuttler for letting us use some of his bottes at the last minute.

A massive special thanks and Andrew Wren the man behind the Brand, he designed the crisp and colourful brand and labels and has been there on the journey from the start.

The Labels and the Logo have received universal appraisal and such positive feedback from everyone that it has to be a component of the honour on the left

Well we are absolutely delighted with the commended badge and their comments.

Our own tasters and testers at events have been unanimous in their appraisal of Alconot Signature Blend as:

  • refreshing citrussy (100%)
  • true to label taste, i.e. it taste like a gin flavour (70:30),
  • Moreish and “I would have that as a long drink any day” type of comments. 90+%
  • I don’t like the fact it does not have alcohol in it – 10%
  • Does it have grapefruit taste? – 15 people (answer is NO it does not)
